@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social average inflation, or housing inflation? Housing inflation matters more for this income level, so much income will go to housing.

@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social my parents made ~$50k in the 90s, with no student loans, had a mortgage on a 4-bedroom house with a basement, 3 cars, and were putting one kid through college with plans in place for two younger kids. I was making more than $130k before I was laid off, and it was barely enough for my student loans, a mortgage on a 2-bedroom condo, 1 car, and no kids. It’s nowhere fucking close to equivalent

@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social Comparing the Social Security cap today vs a prior year is also a good metric. At one time I made close to the cap, but then the cap ran away.
