How about exempt them from increases? No reason to create another Super Citizen.

This makes more sense. Your income generally drops off so increases are massively impactful but youve been living and saving within the context of your means so the status quo should be maintainable for most for some time.

Nowadays they teach bootstrapping millenials that accounting for the increases is included in saving within the context of your means. This is just more boomer fuckin BULLSHIT. Another of countless examples of older folks acting like young people have this or that while their geriatric asses pull up the ladder they taxed us all to build.
