Or, as Dave Ramsey's show host said today, become more frugal to give yourself a raise.

Yes - that raise might even come close to making up for the skyrocketing increase in prices for just about anything.
Meanwhile the wealthy just keep getting wealthier.

George H.W.Bush funeral set US tax payers back 500 million so I'm not sure how they figure what costs to associate with the funeral.

Re: The Queen is dead
I doubt it. Monarchs don't only cost the public on the day they die, they do it every single other day too. The total annual cost of the British monarchy is estimated at $431 million dollars and that is just for the people and doesn't even include things like the cost of renovating Buckingham Palace and other monarchial properties which costs hundreds of millions more. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/ ... omplicated

$431 million dollars, or in other words, the amount of interest on the federal debt the U.S. government pays every 9 1/2 hours. (Or won't, as the case may be.)
