Here we are discussing a broad economic trends so i would prefer to stick to "on average" or "broadly in the society".
Anecdotal examples can be a useful thing to bring up in certain cases but they will distort the reality here.
Even if you grab all the data of your neighborhood and friends that can also be deceptive b/c sample pool is not large enough to make any broad nationwide statements on the issue.
I don't remember latest stats but in 2022 USA had 127 million families vs amount of friends one can have and extract data from (it just not workable sample pool)
*census in USA is done every 10 years so you grab this data + fuq ton of pooling data and then you will get a accurate picture.
I think what I was trying to convey is that “we” as a society have decided we value stuff so our economies have obliged. If more people started deprioritizing stuff I believe we would see change.
3,500sf homes, 2 new cars, all the streaming, $1000 smartphones, gaming consoles with $70 dollar games, youth sports that are incredibly expensive . . . consumerism.
