Global inflation is hard to fight.

I got lucky, I saw a major promotion late last year that increased my income by almost 30% and for some reason, all of my utility bills are less this year.

Now has been the time to switch jobs, people who did switch saw big raises. And the people in the lowest quintile for wages actually saw wage growth on average in excess of what inflation has been.

Good luck though, everyone has a different situation and inflation has been a bear, hopefully the global supply chain can continue to resolve its issues and inflation in the US can continue to ease as a result.
