Inflation burns through families on $14,000 incomes in Boston and Vermont
Boston welder Chet Piacentini and Vermont professor Gene Laber earn about 14 000 dollars yearly as inflation raises grocery and housing costs. The Piacentinis in Hyde Park face higher mortgage, insurance, and appliance prices while the Labers in Milton cut meals and shop sales to stretch budgets. Both rely on careful budgeting, garden produce, and occasional travel for social life, hoping prices stabilize without moving away.
