Sheesh — are you kidding?? I’ve suffered through 4 years of pay cuts, a little more each year AND fewer working days too. Meanwhile prices everywhere are skyrocketing, especially gas!! 2 kids in college — we’re hurting here...
Same here - no raise for last two years and costs go up. I reckon my family has about $600/month less cash to save or play with. We’re approaching retirement so some cuts are in the wings to try to ensure we don’t need Alpo for protein.
