[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HHI is under $100K, and I went to a fancy tea once but someone else paid. I would never pay $500 for a concert ticket. There was a year when I survived on $19k and I kept telling myself things I wanted were "for other people". And even though I'm doing much better financially now, I still believe that. [b]Regular people don't fly on private planes. Regular people don't have weekly cleaning ladies. Regular people don't use Waymo. Or regularly get boba or whatever else.  [/b]I have a cousin who joined her county's ski club and went on skip trips this winter. She's always posting pictures of her eating /drinking out with friends. Bars, wineries, restaurants. I can't afford that. That's for other people, not me.[/quote]

Accurate ^^. We've all been sold a lie with regard to what a "regular" lifestyle is, thanks to SM. That lie was always there in marketing, but with SM it's taken off like never before and convinced us we are missing out on things that everyone else is doing, when everyone else is in fact not doing those things.

Hell, I don't even know what Waymo is. [/quote]

I think it started with reality tv shows, before social media. Waymo is a self-driving car. It only exists in some cities, and is popular in mine.[/quote]

Waymo's are not expensive or "fancy" though, it's just a robot Uber that is often cheaper. [/quote]
