The last ~$10 an hour of wage increases have basically washed off my back. Meaning i feel like I’m in the same position or worse compared to when i made less. Food and housing especially have felt unmanageable for years where I live.
I can see middle age on the horizon and I’m still very paycheque to paycheque
The average 1BR apartment here an hour’s drive from the near city is up to 1500 minimum per month. Honestly probably more I’ve got had to look for a new place in a while. Cost of food and gas is brutal here too. I’ve had a small family this entire time but we haven’t improved our quality of life much if at all.
