So to summarize, the next time some know-it-all boomer starts crapping on "young folks" (basically anyone under the age of 50), tell them "Average income is only 12% higher than it was 35 years ago, but vehicles cost 34% more than they did 35 years ago, houses cost 80% more than they did 35 years ago and a college education costs 3x what it did 35 years ago, so shut the hell up." $7 Starbucks and the iPhone are to blame. "phones and starbucks" are a popular thing to criticize, but phones are dirt-cheap (and sometimes even free) with a phone plan (which is almost a "bare necessity" for life in 2026), and I seriously doubt any significant number of the population is buying a Starbucks (or the like) coffee on a daily basis. If you two want to pick out those two things to harp on and just totally overlook the big picture of priorities, I guess that's your prerogative. Strain at a gnat so you can swallow the camel. My guy...I didn't "pick out those two things"....they were already what was being discussed when I jumped into the thread. I'm pretty sure my first post summarized my point pretty well. the cost of the biggest expenses people incur has risen CONSIDERABLY more than income has risen. I fully agree that people have a "spending" problem....ZERO argument there...but let's not pretend that people have the same amount of disposable income after homes/vehicles that they had 35years ago either.
