Do you mean paying more in real terms? Darts is referring to the fact that his inflation-adjusted (or maybe even nominal) wages are not increasing, but the cost of services seems to be. That's certainly not impossible, but not sustainable over the long term.
I mean paying more in absolute terms and not in terms of percentage of his own income. Its not realistic to expect individual incomes to change at the same rate as other costs.
