I went back in Dec, so speaking from experience.And take food/snacks, a bottle of water and a sweater.

There's no junk left in the house, but it's dirty with plenty of food sources for these critters.

A younger AIRBnB couple was clearly irked, and even though I took them a flashlight and offered water or food, they were clearly unhappy even though it affected only a couple hrs of their 3 night stay.

It's hard for me to walk past anything or anyone I knew was hungry and not get some food for em.

Also, food is not an inflation hedge since it is not storable.

It's like a store throwing out expired food, it doesn't make the rest of the food any more valuable.Don't worry though Jon, I disagree with the OP as well.

Most americans know $35K or less is not a great income, but they work to keep food on table and bills paid.

Food for thought: If you are a prisoner you have a %25 chance of residing in the united states.

Some negatives, but not always dis-qualifiers, might be starting a brand new job, working in a transient industry (fast food), working in a seasonal industry (landscaping) or working in an industry that may be suffering in your area (brick layer).
