Some people do not know how to make their post coherent. That is what I see about OP. But I think he might meant that the man's salary might be enough before but because if the inflation in their country, things become tough which might let the man to be in such situation. Like in my country, despite there has been increase in inflation from 18% in 2022 to 35% now, the government are still paying the same minimum wage they have been paying since 2020. But the government has just increased it 3 days ago. Before that 3 days ago, it could hard on people in a way some may not be able to successfully feed their family.
