And I'm supposed to feel grateful because I got a small raise at work, but it doesn't even match all the cost increases that I have to deal with.
And then forget about buying a house! I'm fine because I only have 5 years left on my mortgage, but what the hell are our kids going to do?

Are kids in their 20's looking to buy houses these days? My oldest son has zero interests in owning a house and everything that comes with it at this point.
