Even as inflation continues to cool into the second half of 2024, many Americans say they're still struggling to make ends meet.

Roughly one-third of U.S. workers say they're living paycheck to paycheck and have nearly no money for savings after paying their monthly bills, according to a survey from personal finance website Bankrate.

Your comment made me wonder about ramen inflation which I couldn’t find immediately but I found an article talking about noodle sales increasing 17% from 2018 to 2021 which…. does not sound like good news.

To play devil's advocate, maybe part of the increase is explained by Shin Ramyun becoming more popular.
