    TIL grudgingly is a word. I’ve only ever heard begrudgingly before.

    Apparently grudgingly is done with lack of interest

    Begrudgingly is done with envy

      Me?

      Gas prices are below $3 here, only spent $91 on weekly groceries yesterday, and my high interest savings accounts are sitting around 4.75%

      My property taxes went up 20% but that’s a local thing…

      And I’ll toss this in here even though you’ll cry that it’s not a valid metric, but my retirement accounts are at a record high

      Like, what more do you want??
