Arabic term or phrase: السريعة
إذ يجد نفسه لم يعد قادرا على تحمل أعباء الحياة المتزايدة و السريعة التي أخذت تستهلك الدخل بشكل كبير.

'Rapidly increasing' seems to make sense in the context, but I'm not sure of the function of السريعة in this sentence.

Thanks

Your suggestion is v. good


Explanation:
Yes, your suggestion works well.

"rapidly increasing" conveys the meaning of the two adjectives المتزايدة والسريعة.
