But movie tickets are insanely expensive too! Especially when you consider all the crappy stuff you have to deal with in the theater.
Yep, I agree. Unfortunately, it remains a common source of comparison.
Looked at concert and comedy tickets lately? Or even mini-golf prices?
Everything is getting insanely expensive.
Yeah, you're right, concert tickets are way crazy too sometimes. I don't get that at all either.. And when you say midget golf, I can totally see that costing a bunch too. They probably make you rent the clubs seperately and maybe even force you to wear special shoes, etc. Then there's one ice cream stand that charges $5 for one scoop, etc.
But yes it is all getting insanely expensive. And hardly anybody seems to notice or even mind! I moved to a different city, so I had to find a new hairdresser.. I had to look really hard and long to find one that didn't charge me upward to €100 (euros, not dollars) for getting my hair cut and dyed. I had to settle for one that costs €70 and it's driving me crazy: That's a damn lot of money to be spending on my hair every two-three months.. and this is the cheap package too 😕
I do seem to remember that about 10 years ago or so, I was paying more in the range of €50 and there wasn't even a premium or cheap choice to make; it was just 20 bucks for cutting and 30 for dyeing or so.
I need to make friends who are hairstylists, yes, I know :(
This is why cryptocurrency has to skyrocket. Otherwise I can't keep up with my hair-costs and concert ticket prices!!!
That must be due to the economy doing so well, i.e. everyone has all of that extra money they're earning at their 28 hour/week jobs and the net result is that competition for goods and services is causing an increase in price. ;-)
That damned "capitalism".
