I make about 180k live alone in a mid sized rust belt town: until 2 years ago I lived like a king - the average income here is about 31,000. It’s still 31,000 now but I am hardly making enough anymore to save anything. How is anyone else ? Why do they keep making things more expensive ? Mg tax return flatly told me I was in the top 1.5% of wage earners. It I’m struggling , how are the other 98% doing ? How is this sustainable ?
