Inflation So Bad, People Now Taking Out Loans to Afford a Cup of Coffee

As inflation continues to spiral out of control, economists are warning that basic survival may soon require a finance degree. The latest victim? Your morning coffee. With a single latte now costing as much as a used car, major banks have started offering "Daily Necessities Loans"—low-interest financing for things like groceries, rent, and breathing. One customer reported being asked for a *credit check* before being allowed to look at a menu. Meanwhile, the government has assured the public that inflation is “transitory”—a term now legally defined as “lasting forever but in a fun, temporary way.” Experts recommend investing in real assets, such as canned beans, barter skills, and a really good begging face.
