This was me a couple years ago but apparently scalpers resell tickets for THOUSANDS. My SO managed to snag a few for their MSRP which is reasonable but they sell out instantly and apparently there's a market for them at those highly scalped prices. I don't agree with it but 🤷‍♂️

I'm not gonna say that should be illegal, but, like, a thousand dollars feeds my family for nearly a year.

How are you surviving off of a dollar a day for food? Genuinely curious

I produce a lot of my own and mainly buy things like sugar and salt. When you live a low income/low cost lifestyle you kind of get sticker shock with how much people shell out for things.
