Don't believe your lying wallet.

  My net worth has 9x'ed since 2020. My total compensation in 2020 was $150k, thanks to a tight labor market in 2021 and a tight labor market today I was able to get two large increases up to $400k, more than 2.6x what I was making then. My wallet is doing fine, and people's wages have increased - at worst - commensurate with inflation. My wallet - and the Dow around 40k - is saying four more years.

    You’re an extreme outlier. Congratulations (no sarcasm intended), but your experience is nowhere even close to the normal person.

    Same. Congrats to you, but you’re an extreme outlier. My comp has changed $0 since 2020. I’m glad to have a job. Lots of layoffs in tech industry.

      No, you are the extreme outlier. Wages have grown by roughly 20% since 2020. In a tight labor market you should be able to get a higher paying job.
