I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.
I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn’t think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.
Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really “feeling” anything.
The “raise” I got that meant I wasn’t living paycheck to paycheck but it turns out healthy food is expensive
Get raise, everything gets more expensive, rent goes up, back to paycheck to paycheck, repeat until death
By the time you got the reasise that money has been inflated ie economic value is extracted hence why most people will always live paycheck to paycheck. The system works great for it wss designed for.
Asking for raise is a symbolic gesture since you got switch jobs to a raise. But it is has important valuez making management waste time tell you no while feeling “uncomfortable”
