For me as a middle class white collar worker the reason is very simple. In 2024 everything costs significantly more than it did before the pandemic. And neither my salary nor my wife's salary was increased at an equivalent amount to counteract the increased cost of everything. I did get cost of living increases (of up to 2.5% each year) however my wife got even less.

 @kingdomross8974 Yes however we had double digit % losses in 2022 and that combined with everything being significantly more expensive it seems the increase in retirement is a wash at best.
