Wages have stagnated. I was lucky to get any raise, but it was significantly less than the cost of living.

Meanwhile, eggs are $4 a dozen. Other staples are $$.

Food overall is much more expensive and we're not even talking about discretionary items or entertainment.

Used cars are almost unobtainable, housing and rent are through the roof.

By what metric is the economy doing well? Stonks?
