    Not surprised. My wife and I make more money than we ever have and I feel like everything is out of reach. Inflation is through the roof. And wages haven’t come close to keeping up. We’re fortunate both of us make mid $20 an hour.

    For someone starting out I have no idea how they could manage. If I was starting out today straight from highschool I’d most likely be homeless

      My wife and I are fortunate and make substantial salaries. We still can’t afford a home. We make enough to have hope of one day owning one, which is more than I can say for many people.

      It’s completely crazy
