My wife just got a 4% pay increase but then the insurance premium went up by 11%. So she really got an 7% pay demotion.

Her insurance premium is 100.2% of her salary?

I got a 5% raise this year, which felt great. That is, until I learned average food price increase by 12% and loan/mortgage interest rate doubled since last December.
