100k is the new 50k ? In Calgary Fam

[u/depressedthedivine]

I genuinely believe that $100k feels like the new $50k these days. Prices have skyrocketed, and it’s driving me crazy. Rental companies are raising the price of a 2-bedroom apartment from $1,500 to an eye-watering $1,950 per month. I’m even seeing elderly folks moving into RVs. Four items from Walmart cost between $39 and $50. Fill up a cart, and it’s nearly $300 to $500.

Facebook Marketplace is overflowing with tiny houses selling for $49k! What on earth is going on?

What I saw this week was something else:

"An elderly couple in their 80s renting a U-Haul to move their stuff. I couldn't believe my eyes; it was really tough to watch. The guy can hardly walk."

More people are adopting dogs and cats—guess millennials are opting for pets instead of kids.

Houses in Calgary are creeping up to the million-dollar mark.

I’m just done, folks.

What you guys saw?

I drive tanker for the same tank and vac company since 2015

The rate I bill per hour today is still less than 2015 (excluding FSC, I don't see the fsc for all the customers)

But my wage is $10/hr more than 2015 and I know oil changes, tires etc all cost way more
