got a raise but somehow still broke 💀

Yo, just got that sweet 5% raise, thought I was gonna be swimming in cash. But nah, my bank account is still giving me the side-eye. Rent went up, groceries went up, my will to live went down. Send help. #AdultingIsAScam #BrokeLife #InflationSucks #GenZProblems

OMG SAME. Literally thought I was gonna be financially responsible this month but my credit card statement said 'nah fam'. It's the cost of everything, not just my avocado toast habit (mostly).

Fr tho, 'lifestyle creep' is SO real. You earn more, you unconsciously spend more without even realizing it. Gotta track those expenses like a hawk, or you're just gonna be chasing the dragon.
