Is the only chance of reprieve to get paid more?

Most of the costs of living have gone done over the decades, it’s just that wages haven’t exactly kept up.
Electronics in particular have REALLY come down, a TV or telephone used to be a really big deal and nowadays you can have one in just about every room while every family member has a cell phone.
Cars are likely another big thing that have come down, you won’t find a sports car but a generic high efficiency commuter vehicle is fairly cheap compared to historically available vehicles; brand new Toyota Corolla is like 21k and can be had with like 10k and a pre-owned warranty for like 14k making them a very reliable and affordable first car.
The cost of housing is generally the only problematic bit (well medical too) as it seems to climb at a rate higher than any other cost of living improvements.
