> Peoples financial situation has increased overall, Some people's. Since 2020 our housing doubled. So did our auto insurance. We're housed because my children became adults and added 3 incomes to the household. With 4 typical incomes we make basic bills + afford knock-on expenses like repair and medical bills. We also make just enough money to pay less for many expenses. Something that changed all over: Couples generally can't afford living expenses on 2 typical wages.
