    I got a “raise” this year but it was half of the rate of inflation. This has happened several years in a row. My numbers get bigger but my money does less. Overall my income is less than when I started even though it looks like more, and I feel like I’m going crazy when everyone around me is happy with the same wage increases.

      yeah I have been passively looking for a job that will pay what I was getting in 2021 as far as the cost of goods goes and so far most things end when I give my wage requirements.
