When most people buy things, they see only the price tag; but that doesn’t reveal the REAL cost, especially when it comes to luxury items. The real cost of luxury can be more than they realize.
It’s an election year, and while the headline topics dwell on the border, January 6th, the age of the candidates, and all the rest, few are talking about the “3rd rail” of politics: social security.
