Speaker 1: Gandhi breaks down everything going on in the world. Here's

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: her three things. If you feel like life is expensive

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,360

Speaker 1: More than half of Americans earning over one hundred thousand

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: dollars a year are living paycheck to paycheck. Many experts

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: point to a phenomenon called lifestyle inflation as one of

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: the culprits. Lifestyle inflation or lifestyle creep, is the pattern

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: of spending a little more as a person's income increases.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: But spending more may not be as simple as people

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: wanting to indulge. Many Americans don't have enough money to

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: make ends meet because their incomes have not been keeping

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: up with rising living costs. Experts say the goal here

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: is to find balance, enjoy your life, but don't be

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: too focused on the future or too focused on the present.

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: says the company failed to meet basic requirements and showing

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: it could deliver services promised. SpaceX said it was disappointed

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: and per play by the move, as the company claims

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: to be one of the best options for high speed

00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: whole lot more. The League's VIP membership costs one thousand

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: dollars a week or twenty five hundred dollars a month.

29
