‘But guys… the stock market is at a record high. Don’t you care?’
I can honestly say that I was far better off a decade ago, despite making half the salary I currently do.
In 2011 Portlandia joked that Portland is where young people went to retire. Now Portland is where anyone that doesn't own a house will never retire.
I get the same sense of a K shaped recovery in the UK. Feels like society is splitting in half
It is because of inflation and salaries not keeping up with it.
In before some dumbass tries to link the real wages/earnings graph from the St. Louis Fed. You're wrong. Go look at your made up graphs that reflect nothing somewhere else.
