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.
My country level is inflation is on the highest side because everyday by day the price of the same commodity that you are buying is skyrocketing. The little additional funds is not adding any impact to your financial strength because the value of fiat is depreciating.
I know of someone who quit his job because he can no longer meet up with his expenses at the end of the month since only his transportation has taken 60% of his income. Infact, life is becoming harder with the current administration on power. Getting a second means of income is the best way to go about it.
