The downside of an economy is that sometimes it can go completely bonkers. Inflation has been at an all-time high in nearly all western countries, and the war in Ukraine isn’t helping at all. Basic prices are going up at alarming rates, energy has become nigh unaffordable and most middle class families are struggling to make ends meet despite having two decent incomes. According to economists from Bloomberg, we’ll have to start making an extra $5200 per year per household to compensate for the price increases. That means that if you’re a couple, each of you needs to start earning over $200 a month more. If you’re living alone, you’re pretty much screwed unless you win the lottery.
