Yep. I don't know how anyone survives on a single salary these days.

Younger folks are starting to wake up to the consequences of the policies they thought they were in favor of. I've seen multiple YouTube clips recently with young people lamenting high taxes and the current insane cost of living. This isn't sustainable, and I think there is a rough road of unrest ahead.
