Reply to comment by Wolfman1961 in How does one stay sane after all these prices increases? It’s out of control by [deleted]

I mean I’m doing alright I guess. I work in data management but my earnings haven’t increased since 2019 so it’s starting to get to me. I can blame it on myself for not being more proactive about finding a higher paying job but that’s about to change. All this inflation is Lightning up a fire on my ass.

I just feel for the people who have families or people who are now barely getting by…

I feel the same way. Your heart is in the right place.

In a place like Houston, I am sure there are many hard-working people working two jobs just to get by. Just, in some cases, to keep a hotel room because they are otherwise homeless.

Sorry for being "intellectual"---but it's a social Darwinist rat race out there.
