I get that the price to create, package and ship is costly but come on. $6 for a jar of coffee, $2 for a pack of halls, $3 for a loaf of locally made bread.
Or how about this. $169 for a simple android tablet or $1,099 for a Dell desktop computer.
For someone on disability those prices are just way to high.
I actually had to cancel my sim with Zetamex yesterday, not because of the recent drama with that company, its because after buying all i needed to survive for the month i had no money left.
Some of you may think that $15 is nothing but to me its alot since that is like 1 McDonalds value hamburger per day for 10 days.
Prices for food is just way to expensive for those on a small fixed income by their government.
Then all these tech company's tempt you with all these good gadgets and at first they are very nice and you want one but cant afford it.
"Everyone has a tablet" not really. If you look at the majority of Canadians and Americans. Most of them cant afford a cheap tablet because they either have no job or on a fixed government income that is very tiny.
I would love to have a windows 8 tablet but it's either that or food for the month. Clearly im not going to let myself die from starvation all because i want a tablet.
Same with cars. My parents car is falling apart and is close to being sent to the scrap yard but they cant afford a new car, not even a used one.
In short, price of things are just way to high for most people right now and i really wish company's would lower their prices before it gets really bad and out of control. I fear if life continues like this, there are going to be alot of suicides. People will become so depressed wanting and needed things that they just cant afford that they will kill themselves instead just to end the pain.
Don't worry im not going to kill myself but it is depressing me.
I'm just posting this so people in the same situation as I am in can know that they are not alone.
If you are feeling suicidal because of the way prices for things are to high for you to afford please take a look at this website i found. http://www.suicide.org/suicide-hotlines.html or just google suicide hotline
Anyways thats it for this blog. Thanks for reading it. And remember you are not alone.
