        Probably this, on the heels of: https://lemmy.world/post/8643298

        So spending is probably up, but it’s just deepening the debt hole. We’ll see where the bottom of that is soon enough…

      I’d say you’re spot on with this, I’d love to see the stats of spending prior to black Friday… betting it was lower than all last years.

      Since I’m just renting, I have more disposable income for luxury shopping.

      I know no one with a lower rent than my mortgage. Literally no one.

        I likely do, nice to meet you.

        I also don’t pay taxes, maintenance, or homeowners insurance. I only have to pay to insure my things.

        You can argue those costs are baked into my $1250 rent, and you’re probably right, but I guarantee it’s less than your mortgage and associated costs would be where I live.
