Yes, the cost of living, the cost of everything has gone up and it keeps on going up. Housing is through the roof. Groceries are 3 times higher than a year ago. One basically has to be a millionaire these days. And even Millionaire status is not as great of a thing as it once was.
I know of younger people who tell me they are asking for raises at their jobs or looking for better paying jobs, even though some are making 25 dollars, 35 and more.
One financial expert said last year that a person would have to make at least $50 an hour to make ends meet in most areas.
Just thought I'd add my two cents here. Err, 20 cents with inflation.

The other option is change standards of living. Trade house condo or apt to live in a cardboard box in the woods, give up the vehicle and peddle a bike and panhandle from others in parking lots. Get off the grid so to speak. Sell flowers and tell everyone that rainbows are cool and spend your money on sex changes.

I bought a 'cheap' condo 3 years ago.
The HOA is more than my mortgage.
Prices for apartments have doubled in that time and it sounds like a great investment, but if I sold... where am I going to go when all the condos around have doubled in price!

I asked some friends how high will they let the price of fuel go up before they sell their car and buy a scooter, most of my friends said $5 a liter of petrol would be their limit for change..

There are people living in their RVs and camping out...not just a summer activity anymore...
I have to admit...buying an RV and touring the country including the US and South Americas sounds like a great idea...but not ideal for a family or an employed person...
Affording a place to call home...a growing concern for many...not just the unemployed anymore...
