    I want to agree with you buy I don’t want to go off based on a blurb in a shitrag such as business insider.

    Maybe Rosenberg has collected spending data and noticed increase in spending at e-commerce sites and malls?

      Maybe, but even then is it YOLO to use credit to buy new clothes for work?

      I’m certain that the data is far more complicated than is being presented.

          You said spending at e-commerce sites and malls. One of the reasons people spend money at malls is to get clothes for work.

          As for e-commerce sites, I’m not sure why you think people go to Amazon just for luxuries.

          I started working with welding presses this past year and needed to buy a week’s worth of jeans to meet safety requirements (I didn’t really own jeans before lol)

          Fortunately I had some savings, otherwise I’d have been forced to use credit to buy them before I got my first paycheck
