Wages have stagnated, and the cost of living has gone up. That is something almost everyone is feeling. I make more now than ever, and it felt easier 7-8 years ago than now.
It really sucks, what’s the point in putting in any work for nothing.
The cost of living vs the cost of living increase
It's an illusion to make you think you're gaining more when in reality the prices are going up creating an imbalanced; type of balance that doesn't benefit the people it's supposed to. The math only works one way.
It does, we all know the issue yet are powerless to do anything about it.

When did you start?
4 years ago so not loads of time but I think a decent raise for how long I’ve been working.
I've been working remotely for a while now, and it's been going well. Though I'm not rich, I make enough to live comfortably. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to share what I do and how I got started! Send a comment or a private Dm for more information
That sounds great! I think remote is what I’m after currently, I think it would really help my work life balance and my outgoings.
Prices of indexes go up, but also remember the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped in general about 30% since 2020. So most of us are now making less than we did in COVID.
Oh isn’t that lovely!
