The most affluent consumers account for a bigger share of total US spending, reinforcing the lopsided dynamic of unbothered consumption for the wealthy and more cautious shopping for everyone else.

    Same. I started cutting back on everything I could at the beginning of the year.

    Switched from fast food to takeout from local restaurants, canceled all my Amazon subscribe and save orders, and bought everything I possibly could from Costco. I’ve actually saved a lot this year.

        I spend more of my free time gaming because it’s cheap and there have been fantastic games released lately. Definitely more depressed this year but it’s just the state of the world. Doing what I can to protect my peace. It’s kinda felt kinda like covid all over again.
