My retirement is down.
My savings is down from inflation.
Inflation is so high my raise didn't even matter.
The gov is stealing my $$ in real-time and I can't do SHIT about it.
@basedbagel same here, even though I got 3 raises last year and make over 80k a year I would be barely able to afford a studio, food, and car expenses in California I am expected to get a few more raises this year and at least 1 job promotion this year and I dont think it will increase my quality of life that much.
@37712 Right?! I started my business after years of procrastination.
I finally get my 1st client only to find out after taxes I made LESS than at my job!🤦♂️
It's all good though but it's really the food costs that hit me the hardest.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do but I would HIGHLY recommend leaving california
