Bros,
Don't know if you feel it. I am beginning to feel like I am not even in the middle class in our country any more. Wife and me working. We earn average incomes. Combined >$10k a month. But young kids in school. Expenses super high.
My car is 9 years old. Went looking for cars and even a small korean car cost >$100k. Want to get a bigger flat because kids are growing. But prices are ridiculously high. Last time can afford to eat chilli crab once in a while. Now crab is $65 a kilo. Cannot afford to eat anymore. Durian price also gone crazy. If eat out, little bit here and there also cost $50-$100. The $50 bills in my wallet use very fast....maciam flow out like water.
Getting old. Tired of this impossible rat race. You feeling the pinch too?

Combine income > $10K and you are still complaing???? You must be kidding,sir. Either you downgrade your lifestyle or earn more than you spend. No two way about it.

My old retired parents stay with me. They have no savings. Food, medical bills, expenses, allowances. All borne by wife and me. When you count income per person in my household, it is not alot. No lavish lifestyle....nothing of that sort. I can't kick my kids or parents out....

Dump them in an old folk's home in a neighboring country. It'll save you a lot of money.
