I can say that my income increased about 40% over 2 years and I have not seen an increase in disposable income. Between higher tax rate, higher costs and getting my kids out of public school to private, I still break even.
One good example is the increase in traffic between my house and work. Instead of improving roads they built a toll road so I can either spend about $140 a month on tolls or the wife unit and I can take a hour plus (one way) to work everyday for a 24 mile drive that took only 32 minutes in 2011.

And you’re still probably behing because you can’t keep up with the accelerated cost of living that 0 has brought about with hyperinflation (let’s just call it what it really is and not mince words or argue about the definition of hyperinflation by discussing technical terminology that causes us to to be unable to see the forest for the trees ala liberal Alinskyite lie and distract tactics shall we?)
