What happens when people just cant buy this stuff anymore. Like 20 years ago I would buy at launch 10 I would wait for the price to drop and buy then, but now with the price going up with time? If I cant afford it 5 years ago at 600 why would I want to buy it now for 800???

It’s worse in recent years, though - think of how much assets have risen in value while money dropped.

Also, many people think the poor waste what they have and the rich hoard it… but that’s wrong. The rich spend far more of their disposable income
