Not surprised. My wife and I make more money than we ever have and I feel like everything is out of reach. Inflation is through the roof. And wages haven't come close to keeping up. We're fortunate both of us make mid $20 an hour.

For someone starting out I have no idea how they could manage. If I was starting out today straight from highschool I'd most likely be homeless

    I was earning mid twenties in warehouses in the 1990s
