Even though most Americans have been struggling financially over the past few years, not everyone has been doing badly during the current economic turmoil. In fact, there are some households that are doing exceptionally well.
Some articles point out that companies that cater to average Americans are doing quite poorly right now while companies that market luxury goods and services are reporting massive profits. However, overall consumer spending has been slowing down.
It looks like the majority of U.S. workers either can’t spend a lot of money right now or are very hesitant to. At the same time, there is a substantial number of Americans who are splurging confidently on the finer things in life.

People are scrapping for money. Every Joe Blow that bought a Zero Turn Mower now is looking to cut peoples lawns.
Look on local FB chatter pages. Just a year ago people would post to get some yard cleanup done and no one would reply. Now, there will almost instantly be 5 people wanting to do a 2 hour job. Teens, teachers and those not in the work force looking to do anything for some cash.

I don’t know. When I was a kid, what you posted there was normal.
The first rule of Marxism (1848), destroy the middle class. Pol Pot was effective for a few years, wiping out intellectuals, teachers and bankers. These are the very ppl supporting Biden’s Marxist revolution. They will be the first to be eliminated, although, they are unaware of their fate.
“30 Statistics That Prove Average Americans Are Being Financially Destroyed”
30 Statistics That Prove the US Middle Class is being destroyed]
No surprise. In order to create the ideal totalitarian government you must first destroy the Middle Class and then disarm law abiding citizens which I believe will be the primary effort after the 2024 elections if the Democrats steal it.
We usually have pre-fouth fireworks going off all around us. This year, hardly anything. I wonder why?

Never heard that term. Had to look it up. Sharing this descriptive video:
Every single person at my place of employment is in the middle class. Out of all those that I know, all but one of them are living life as usual. Yeah, they complain a bit about prices but they haven’t made any changes in their lifestyle. Vacation, restaurants, Disney, movies, usual stuff. If you read this carefully you might notice my statement that all but one at my workplace are living life as usual. That person actually is living life as usual, his usual. That person is me. I’m the strange person that lives below his means, most do not. We shop carefully for food and we hardly ever eat out, we make a point of saving and investing and getting the most from our wages We have no debt and if we want something we save up for it. Those that I speak to about this tell me that it is impossible to make headway in this economy. Ok.
I worked for decades and never could save enough. I started when I added up what I make in a year and minus the bills and saw how little I would have.
I was able to invest in stocks and made plenty. If the stocks keep going up despite congress and the FED causing massive problems we will be better off. Now that Trump looks like he will win despite massive voter fraud by the democrats, the economy should improve a lot.
Congress spending over $2 trillion more in 1 year wrecked the economy for almost everyone but themselves. They have bribe money to live on.
I own AMD (cpu and graphic chips), buy that and keep an eye on nvidia (graphic chips) when it starts to go up again after a 10-1 stock split! in June and 4-1 in 2021... and look for Starlink (Elon Musk satellites) when it issues stock someday. ARM (Arm Holdings plc) is a stock that has gone way up in just 2 months, nearly $100 a share. They design computer chips.
#10 I noted that two here in my area. A few big bangs the day before the 4th and just firecrackers the day after the 4th.
