What sucks is every time I seem to get over a salary plateu some crazy world changing event happens and the price of goods goes up to where I feel like I haven’t gained a thing.

Chased $100k salary my whole young adult life. I am finally achieving it and that number. Which is great don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the finish line I saw at 16

Samesees. I know I'm not poor, but I'm so much closer to it than it felt like I would be when I got to that number.

Today it’s 32. Then next up is 50. You got this. Remember. At least 1 random Redditor believes in you.
