Reply to comment by No_Tax5256 in PSA: For those of you who operate non-electric vehicles, note that the NYS sales tax holiday on motor fuels is expiring tomorrow, so fill up before January 1 and save about 40c/gal. by HiFiGuy197

That’s not how inflation works.

If wages went up with inflation then you’d be correct but my wages didn’t go up at the same rate as inflation in the past year and I bet most people will say the same

Find a new job that pays market rate for your skills and services.

Lol that’s like saying “just don’t be poor”, it’s not exactly the easiest thing these days to find a high paying job and more importantly a stable job where you won’t face wage cuts or get laid off if the economy worsens

We are at the tail end of the "Great Resignation". People wirh marketable skills and experience are quitting jobs and moving to new jobs that pay more. Lots of people have taken advantage of the last two years to upskill and pivot from one career to another. There is no better time than now. Fortune favors the bold. Be bold. Take a risk. You may just find yourself in a better place.

Unemployment is at a near all time low. Job creation has outpaced layoffs.
