@FinanceFoundry_@LeadingReport Yes the smartphone, backup camera, and flat-screen really soften the blow to everyone that can't afford rent, Healthcare, or food.
@Bellagiotime My Aunt drove one of these for like 45 years until she passed away. Not sure what her kids did with it, but would have loved to have had that car.
@MurrayHillGuy1 Horrible take. My wife and I dated in college. We married 1 year after and have been together 22 years now. Glad I didn't listen bad advice like this.
Who you choose to marry is far more important than the timing.
@TacosFromGod@burgwx India, Sri Lanka, Afghaniststan, parts of Australia, and a few other countries already do this. Like you said, not a huge deal and also not unprecedented.
This is true if you heavily weight the measure in terms of TVs, cell phones, and processed food (official statistics), but if you measure in housing, energy, education, and medical care it's a completely different story.
Younger generations are constantly told not to spend money on superfluous things like cell phones and Starbucks. So why would anyone care if those things are cheaper than ever when the things that really matter aren't?
@sopranocorradoo@digitaloutlaw95@realJackJWyatt@Schaumby You really can't get a factory Denali built out to $115k, but if you are foolish with the options list, you can get close. With taxes, dealer fees, and delivery it could probably get you there.
