When inflation went up 7.9% and I got a 4% pay increase, you quickly start to realize that the whole system is rigged against you.

I mean, I already knew the system was rigged against me, but I received a pay increase of 70 cents and my rent went up $200 a month, you quickly realize that you'll never be able to get out of the rut you're in. It's insanely depressing.
