Is the only chance of reprieve to get paid more?

Historically we didn’t have these crazy levels of inflation.
In early novels people would be described via their salary. That amount of monthly income would be understood as being rich or poor for decades if not a century by readers. If an author wrote the guy made 20 thousand dollars per year, it’d be extremely confusing unless you knew the average wage for the decade.
20 thousand would be super comfortable in 1920, kinda poverty level by 1980
