It’s not just that. My area grew substantially more than the average due to work from home and Californians fleeing California. I can move to a cheaper area who didn’t grow as much to access the increased wealth. I was also getting raises the whole time so it didn’t effect me as much as others.
But yeah at the moment I do feel poorer than the start. As a simple example I could easily afford rib eye steak every meal at the start of covid but that has become to expensive and now I eat mostly ground beef.

Sweet ! Good for you ! And probably that’s better for you, seeing as how you didn’t like the area you are in now
