About two in three Americans say their household expenses have risen over the last year, but only about one in four say their income has increased in the same period.

    I was a DINK until October last year.

    I kept the house because I can swing the payments. But just barely. It’s been a tough year adjusting to having a slim budget again, but I’ve made it. Not without worming a second job and denying myself a lot of small luxuries that would have made my mental health.

    I’m asking for a raise, but am guessing it’s not going to come.

      Switching jobs is another way to get a raise.

        Thousands of applications per job.
