People are drowning financially


Because they refuse to cut back

The same people drowning are still going on vacations, going out to eat several times a week, buying tons of shite for christmas, etc

Most Americans are morons when it comes to finances. They stretch themselves financially.

I'm not saying they're engaging in perfect decision-making; just discussing how the macro is affecting the impacts of that DM.

That's ultimately a tomato-tomato scenario. If they cut back on those things, it would have similar macro issues b/c spending in general needs to decrease (which will force prices down, ultimately). This applies to cars, houses, vacations, restaurants, drip, phones, streaming services, etc.

This is the straight up frickin' truth of it right here.

You just described some friends and neighbors of mine. They're drowning badly and think that because they now have a Costco membership, they're spending wisely.

Had a LPN I work with tell me that she overdrafted her checking acct and had no money til next paycheck but already spent 2k on Christmas gifts for her 5 kids and just thinking about how she can spend more. Spending has become an addiction for people
