    And yet still every year you will make, functionally, less money than the last. You will get poorer and poorer and it took you longer to get settled than the generation before you.

    No I won’t? I get raises above inflation, and I was married with a mortgage in my mid 20s.

      Well that’s a rarity, you must be absolutely raking it in at this point. Most places I’ve heard of tend to not even admit that inflation is real so that any raise they do offer barely, or doesn’t at all, covers inflation and isn’t really a raise at all.
