When I look at your description and username I think you live in Turkey. Unfortunately, in today's conditions the prices of products are changing every day in Turkey and the purchasing power of households is getting lower day by day. The Turkish Lira which loses value day by day especially due to the mistakes made in the country's management and economic decisions unfortunately causes the Turkish people to experience more difficult days.

In today's conditions in Turkey, there is a minimum wage worker of over 60%. The rest, unfortunately work with a salary slightly above the minimum wage. Unfortunately, these salaries are not enough for basic living expenses and in some provinces they are unable to even cover the rent. For these reasons it became impossible to save or to live above the standard.

Due to the economy, which is taking firm steps towards the worse with each passing day, both the young generation and today's children are unfortunately worried about the future in Turkey's conditions.
I think it is not "that" different in most of other nations as well, not really that different in my country too. The logic is that if you are making a salary, then you shouldn't be able to live a great life, it just doesn't or will probably never happen. I think it is quite important to just focus on what you could do with it, and learn how you could get out.

There is a reason why there are so many authors from so many different nations that keep on writing books about how you could make more money if you got out of the 9-5 lifestyle. Sure maybe yours is worse than others, but doesn't make other nations a great place to live with a salary neither, believe me because I know millions even tens of millions having debt and barely surviving in my nation as well.
