You are welcome to present your solution, but aside from spending less, making more is the only way out of this erosion on quality of life.
The target rate for inflation in the country is 2% yoy. That means that at minimum your groceries (and everything else) is costing 2% more on average every year. You can shop sales, you can buy in bulk, you can do more cooking, whatever. Those all amount to lessening your costs and perhaps reducing your quality of life. The only way to maintain is to earn more.
The economy is a ponzi scheme. You need to fuel it with constant growth or the whole thing will collapse.
