Not everywhere. I too am in "the west" and my purchasing power increased significantly in the last 10 years.

Is it because you got older and promoted or because the same job you did 10 yr ago was better paid?

I would hope promoted. What kind of loser would stay in the same position for 10 years?

Its a combination of both. I still do mostly the same job, but i do have a better position on paper.

You got better at doing the same job too through experience, which makes sense to increase your pay even if it’s the same job.

I mean it’s a bit misleading to say you got more “purchasing power” which suggests you can buy more things with the same money when you actually meant that your pay was increased.
