I remember when $100k was an exceptional salary (circa 2000s). Adjusted for the S&P 500, you'd have to earn $360k today.

Yep, back when being a millionaire still meant something. Luckily today we have Bitcoin, and once the bulk of humanity starts using it as our unit of account and medium of exchange we will be able to preserve the value of our wages and savings over time without needing to seek alternate stores of value.

CPI doesn't tell the full story of inflation, in fact it's mostly a lie. Check your wage against asset inflation over time. Most people's wages are not keeping up with real assets.
