In my profession the only way to get wage increases is by changing jobs

This.
I had a job in 2018 that paid $18 an hour. Same job pays $24 an hour today.
Personally, I have nearly tripled my income since 2018.

And you’re right back to simple.

Even though the biggest erosion of spending power is increase in insurance - health, auto, homeowners. But
I can attest as I currently pay $2,000 a month between health, auto and home insurance plus you can tack on another $350 for property taxes. Make more now albeit not allot more than I did 20 yrs ago but feel poorer.

If you're looking for the government to be responsible for growing your wealth you are pathetic. America is doing quite well right now.

The profession I am in has had stagnant wages for decades. The government spending off a cliff has led to this inflation so yes you prick they are responsible

Nothing wrong with those? People have to start somewhere. If I were young and found one in this economy I’d buy it. Better than renting.

I came out of college as an engineer 25 years ago making 56k. Bought my first house at 25 for $112k. We now offer young engineers $70k. The starter homes are priced at $300k. Every other cost is more than double.
That doesn’t exist anymore. We will collapse.

This is exactly the problem. My dad talks about making $100k for the first time in 1998 and feeling like he was doing well with a stay at home wife, 3 kids and a 3100 square foot house he bought for $120,000. To do that now as an upper middle class family you’d have to make $300k

Yea, totally Trump’s fault when he’s been in office for 6 months. It’s definitely not your boy Biden and his democrat comrades printing money and flooding the economy with it. Totally not their fault!!
4 years and 6 months
Did you forget about Trumps’s first term when he ran record deficits? And then Covid hit and Trump started spending like crazy and sending families quarterly checks and doubled the child tax credit? Trump’s covid spending was the single biggest reason for 2021-2022 inflation that pissed off everyone (second biggest cause was Biden’s Covid spending).
Trump ain’t fixing the deficit and inflation is going to get worse when tariff start to get enforced

Right but even Dems agreed that Trump's bigly stimulus was necessary in response to Covid. Major difference is that Biden pumped another several trillion into the economy knowing that Trump had already pumped 6 trillion very recently.

While annual wage growth remains just above the annual rate of inflation, which grew to 2.7% in June, “the gap between the two is the narrowest it’s been in 12 months” Indeed added.
What did they say in 2022 when inflation reached 9.1%?
