My coworker complains that even though he has received raises every year since graduation their effective spend has decreased because of inflation. So much so that he was making more money as a student than as an FTE.
- bravetraveler 4y agoI believe it. I've gone from paying zero attention to the cost of things... to cutting extras/budgeting in the last five years; with just as many raises! It really feels like my career leaps have been nullified. Unless I find a similar joint income, I don't know if I'll own a home. There's no family windfall to expect I know, woe is me. I feel for everyone that doesn't have this padding. Aside: The down payment stories I hear have been absurd. What's reasonable, on the low end?
