The most affluent consumers account for a bigger share of total US spending, reinforcing the lopsided dynamic of unbothered consumption for the wealthy and more cautious shopping for everyone else.

My shoes have holes in them and i use instant coffee and eat rice & beans most days. I havent been to a salon in 4 years. I cant afford the fruits of my own labor and im on medicaid. I work a skilled union job. They told me i should apply for unemployment when it gets slow.
I’ve gotten fairly skilled at mending my own cloths as of late. And fixing my shoes.
By “skilled” I mean I can keep my junk from flapping in the breeze, which IMO is good enough.
It’s getting rough out there, and I can’t afford to buy that shit now. Thread is cheap, sewing needles are cheap, and extra fabric is easy AF to come by.
Yeah, i mend my own shoes and clothes as needed already. The shoes have holes in the upper “sock” bit, otherwise id use shoe goo or something
I guess casual nudity can become the fashion trend. “Food or clothes? Pick one.”
