But generally speaking, people are seeing a rise in their purchasing power and quality of life financially speaking. Very little mention of that is made in the MSM, which leads people to be more discouraged than they should be. But to your point, unfortunately, in any economy there are winners and losers at any given time.
I hope in the future, you can get some additional wage gains to cover that inflation! It has it made it tough on a lot of people no doubt.
