I don't have links but it does make sense. If you have the money to buy, e.g., an Xbox, saving it will not neccesarily return you the same amount of money to buy an Xbox in the future, because inflation raised the console's price

People tend to have an overly optimistic image of what it means to be neurotypical. Neurotypical people are not the extremely successful, always-happy, super charismatic elite. That's the 99% percentile. They are as outliers as the mos
