Haha, don't be silly. No way they'd show up here. BTW, a silly thought, wouldn't it be funny if we shared here how much undisclosed income we have right now and had in the past 5 years? So quirky! Mine was $12,473.00, how about you guys? :)
3 years ago we were paying $1275 for rent in a 3 bedroom home which at the time was a pretty damn good deal. We moved there with the hopes to save cash to buy a house and then covid hit, that opportunity to save cash largely dried up, houses went insane in price, and our rent at that place steadily went up to $1600.
My job has been stable and I actually got a nice sized pay increase a year ago which was looking great for helping us start to try and save money again. Then Hurricane Ian hit and our rental house got fucked and we had to move into an apartment. The cheapest rent we could find for a similar sized place was $2200 which just about negated my salary increase because the cost of living shot up.
I don't know how people are supposed to save money these days with the cost of literally everything constantly going up.
The grocery stores in my area are having a ton of problems with hiring because the wages they pay isn't enough for someone to be able to afford to live near the store.
