I am a big proponent of self improvement... And that means working towards higher income brackets, which means things become affordable.
Since COVID started I have double my income for example, I took full advantage of the implosion in the job market.

At the moment there is a market correction as the world starts moving manufacturing to more local areas, inflation is hitting costs hard... And supply/demand is now placing some unique pressures on other markets.

We are seeing that with CPU's currently... The market is no longer hungry for CPU's, so AMD has been forced to lower prices or loose out... I mean... Why would I upgrade my Ryzen 5950X that I bought for $800 for a 7950X at $1200? Especially when you combine the higher RAM and motherboard costs.

I won't. It's not like my 5950X became useless overnight... And normally I am an early adopter.

Just play the waiting game, things might start getting interesting over the next 12 months.

Tbf I have been playing the GPPU waiting game since 2018, and it's not 2023 lol.

I'm not at all worried on the CPU front, I know I'll be able to nab what I want within a year from now, but GPU-wise is totally still up in the air, and I don't see myself reaching that point any time soon.

I just wish bottom barrel and low tier jobs paid more tbh. I know you're a Fire fighter, so that's def an important job to pay more for, same for office/techies, but retail?, those poor bastards are still fucked.
