For me, the real kicker is what feels like the cost of food and other common items doubling in the past year, and record profits, but the actual people working haven't seen a raise in a decade. With the bump in interest, and my home "value" doubling in the past 5 years, it's hard to imagine anyone not born into it being able to buy a home at this point forward. On the tech sector, I'm feeling less than stable where I'm at and seeing a lot of dev jobs where the pay is roughly what I was seeing a decade ago or more. It may be great if you're on the top 1-3% of earners and making most of your money from investments, it's another if you're working for a living.
