Do you think most goods/services are overpriced or that you are underpaid? Both?

Do you think most goods/services are overpriced or that you are underpaid? Or both?


What goods and services do you think are overpriced?  Why?  Too much demand?  Greed?

[ChrissyRyan]

I think that many concert tickets are overpriced.  Too expensive.

[ChrissyRyan]

I think that tickets to many sporting events are overpriced.  But someone has to pay those huge salaries of the star players, right? 

Plus if demand fell a lot, prices should too.  Too much demand.

Snack chips seem to be overpriced.

[ChrissyRyan]

Most cars.

[Rochelle]

Snacks in vending machines.  I almost bought something today and walked away instead.  Not really worth it.

My thoughts are not that things are overpriced it's just that cost are increasing faster than wages so we are inevitably getting poorer. If production costs were lower (energy and transport costs for example) we would be able to start to recover but the world is so volatile right now I fear things will get worse before they get better.

My clients might respond that my CPA, Financial Advising, and Tax Preparation services are too expensive.

This time of year as we are just ONE MONTH away from the USA Federal Income TAX Deadline I am working 12+ hour days, 7 day's a week so I turn a deaf ear to the notion that my services are too expensive.

You have to put a value on your time Danielle. As someone who was self employed for about 11 years I can say that people always looked at my hourly rate and thought that was what I earned. They though i must have been raking it in. They didn't realise that after costs I came out with only a fraction of that.

[Lori Dee ✅]

I have owned several small businesses over the years.

Small business owners don't earn an hourly rate. Sometimes, we don't earn a salary. Even my commissions rarely exceeded my expenses.

What I find offensive is that the cost of living increased by 3%, and yet my cost-of-living adjustments were 2.5%. Meanwhile, billionaires say all is good because they don't buy anything. They pay people to buy things for them.
