Am not playing anything. It’s like someone doesn’t have food to eat this month but decide to buy 60$ game. That person has issues prioritizing and managing money and even if they had more money they’d spend it on stupid stuff.
But you are right, things are more expensive while salaries have remained the same. There’s no question about it. However managing your finances is a required skill, even if you earn a lot more than you need. I’ve seen far too many cases where people who had good income still ended up in debt. You need not look further than lottery winners. Huge amounts of money and most of them end up bankrupt or dead.
62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Don’t play this ‘they’re not good with their money’ libertarian bullshit. People aren’t being paid very well and essentials have shot up in price.
Saving even $800 is beyond many people’s reach.
