What I’ve noticed is that cost of housing, landscaping, and home repairs are getting incredibly expensive. Maybe they always were. But practically everything else is really cheap. You can get all your entertainment from library books and movies or cheap monthly subscriptions. Food and clothing are inexpensive if you aren’t looking for the best. Transportation is not expensive.
I think people will continue working 40 hours a week until they can afford a decent house. At least that’s what I would do. It’s practically my retirement plan, work until I can afford a house then find a low stress fulfilling job to work part time and explore my hobbies. Hopefully AI can solve this problem next.
