The cost of living is out of control, my wife and I never go on vacation and haven't since before the pandemic, work like dogs, and we wanted to upgrade our home to get a little more space for the kids and stop paying condo fees, but due to interest rates and high prices we could barely even buy the house we currently live in.
Cost of living is absolutely out of control and wages seem to have stagnated. How are others handling this? Everywhere I look there are fast cars, full restaurants, people just getting back from Mexico. What the fuck are all these people doing for work?!
PS: I'm in Canada. Things here I feel are much worse than the USA.
I doubled my income,or close to it the last few years with overtime.
I mean but you'll pay for it down the road from stress.
Nothing is free. But I'm just doing this short term. So I can buy more stock and silver. My expenses haven't gone up too bad. I'm single my cars are paid off and my house is on a 2.93 % mortgage. I live 5 miles from work so I don't burn much gas.
