There's a severe lack of laughter

Y'all are getting raises?

I live in San Diego. I wish there were $400K starter homes!

3% raises with 4% inflation

You mean 0-1% raises with 10% inflation?

I am laughing so hard that I am crying!

Except there's no laughing, and the tears are caused by pain.

I would love to find a $400k starter home in my area
