Interesting viewpoints. Got me thinking for a bit;
I think it's so much people are cheap cheap, as pretty much since 2008 most people are not stacking up lots of extra cash, they just have less money.
On top of that, I've seen articles where there is so much 'heirloom furniture' being gifted / inherited and most people don't want it, don't have the space for it and don't want to pay to store it, that goodwills around the country are being over flooded with it.
I've definitely seen trends where many people are buying cheaper, more disposable furniture, clothes, and everything. I'd hazard a guess that many people moving these days would have enough space in a rental car for their cherished / valuable stuff - and all the rest would not be worth six thousand to re-buy, much less the hassle of packing and unpacking and risks associated with that for six grand.
I did not think about these things in this way in the 90s, early 00s.
