I live in a developing country, where 5% is the norm, and yet salaries have been mostly static except recently.

This is one of those years where I get a substantial increase in salary, but it seems like racing against time is the norm for this generation.

It used to be that everyone made it, everyone got a living wage. But in the 21st century, it looks like only 1/6 will make it, and the rest will treadmill into poverty. If you're American, it's probably not so bad, closer to 1/3.
