Anyone else think a lot of people complaining of the current economy exaggerate because of their poor financial choices and keeping up with the Joneses?

No I’m not saying things aren’t rough right now. They are. But they’re made worse by all the new fancy luxury cars and Amazon items they buy that they most certainly “need and deserve”. The worst part is they don’t even realize where all their money is going. Complaining of rising grocery & property tax prices while having plans of going to the stealership to trade in their 4 year old car for a new 3 row suv.

No this isn’t yelling at the void about people eating avocado toast and Starbucks. This yelling at the void about people buying huge unneeded purchases they’ve convinced themselves they’ve earned, who then turn and cry about how bad everything is.

I think social media is a huge offender. The Joneses are now everyone on the internet and it’s having people stretch themselves super thin yet never feel like it’s ever enough.
