I have a job and it's a struggle to find reasons to give any fucks anymore. I used to be paid "enough" and according to inflation calculators, I'm making nearly the exact same amount (in terms of buying power) as I did in 2013; but my expenses are definitely higher.
This isn't a competition but if I can't progress in my career at a pace that even rivals inflation, then what the fuck am I even supposed to do?
My responsibilities have increased, but my buying power is ludicrously the same. It's infuriating.
You're not alone.
