Does making more money actually make life easier?

Currently making more money than I did a few years ago, but somehow I still feel just as stressed about finances. Not sure if it’s inflation, lifestyle creep, or if money just isn’t the fix I thought it would be.

I was hoping that making more would mean less stress, but honestly, it kinda feels like the opposite lol. Anyone else feel like the more you make, the more problems just pop up?
