[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not quite painful enough yet.
It's not glaringly obvious yet. 
It is not really affecting stock prices now.

I think it will take until Q2 in 2026 for real pain.

There has to be some economic event to happen that's too big to ignore.

The signs are there but people don't want to see them.

There's also quite a gap growing between the have/have nots.  Either you are faring well - $200k above salaries typically continues upward, or you are hovering at that $80-120k mark and not really getting more.  So if you can afford a $30 dinner, you may not blink as much paying the $35-40/dinner.  Even though I'm the former, I am blinking more but not enough that I have to stop altogether, maybe more conscious of what the cost it however and if I can avoid a dinner out, I will.  It's just hard to break habits and with kids, I just don't have the time to work + cook as much as I wish I had the energy to.

The big econ event that's too big to ignore is prob what it will take..

But I think we're looking at next year being pivotal for a lot of folks.  I think it takes a while of pain as well before people start really hearing the shouting but when we do hear it, my worst fear is t won't be just shouting :(  In the meantime, there'll be a lot of grumbles but you'll have a segment of population that live in bubbles to still continue that existence and those are the people who make it so the markets continue on.
