Just listened to a podcast that pointed out that housing is expensive, education is expensive, childcare is expensive, cars are expensive, and money is expensive (interest rates are high). And out of pocket expenses for healthcare are going up and up. Economists don't have a handle on the compromises and adaptations that people have been making over the last decade or more, e.g. moving to the cheaper place further out of town rather than where they want to live, or house-sharing rather than living as a couple. It seems people are at the limit of the adaptations they can make and are pretty pissed off about it.
