I make about 140k per year. However the prospect of moving out of my small starter home seems pretty much impossible. Any house that isn't basic costs nearly 500k. And I don't even live in a blue shithole. This is in the south.
Buying foods that are somewhat healthy like produce and meats that aren't chock full of antibiotics and bullshit that will poison you is costing $3-400 a week for my family. Luckily I have a company truck so fuel isn't a major expense but energy is going up as well as just about anything else.
Still am able to put away savings but these past few months added expenses have been adding up like crazy. Really don't think there's any hope for the average American making 55k. If my income was cut in half don't think I'd be able to support a family at all let alone at that miniscule level.
