If I want to spend $50 on a book or $35 on Korean barbecue it’s a huge thing for me, and I can’t even toss $100 to someone else’s rent. Cons, owning a kayak, miniatures are all on hold indefinitely while I pay for car repair, car insurance, dentist stuff after insurance, and rent. And rent. And rent. So that’s a lot of despair to swallow.
Some folks I know are more desperate and some more comfortable. But our rulers could drop that money and it’s nothing to them.
