If nobody can't afford paying those prices then prices will fall If prices are so high it means people can afford.
But it's shame that anyone tell they don't have money to spend or buy expensive things becouse high prices show's what's the new Normal.
New Normal is WEALTH look at the rent prices even not good locations ...lol they are extremly expensive.
Everything show's that people are very rich and all have good jobs and a lot money in bank accounts.
The new Normal is to be very wealthy and it's shame to tell others you don't have money nobody don't belive you they think you joking becouse it's impossible to live in this world like this If you don't have money.
Finally the world is rich
Just don't buy those things not important to you especially those luxurious things since those material things is just for flexing. Maybe more better for people to focus on things that they need since for sure they will never get broke if they set aside their vices and prioritize those important things that can help them to live a more comfortable life.
Its not about price possession of expensive things but rather on how you can survive. Crisis is happening so people should prepare for that situation since its hard to regret on everything wrong they have done if they are already facing bankruptcy or broke already.
Also in reality don't complain about those expensive prices if you don't need it, leave it. But if this one inspires you then do better job and earn more money.
