The government increased the minimum wage in my country recently and some employers are demanding more from workers. My boss even wants me to take on more tasks because our salary has increased. And I told him that I had been living comfortably last two years with lower salary. I can't save from my current earnings but I could two years ago.The increase in salary is worthless because it has lower purchasing power than years ago. With the level of inflation moat countries are going through, if you don't have multiple streams of income, you might not be able to afford basic needs.
