It’s most likely that people won’t have a choice. Many people, anyway, from what I understand of USian wages and cost of living.
I'm not talking about rent, I'm talking about the massive credit card and loan debt that has propped up millions of folks trying to live a lifestyle they can't really afford. In the US, it's incredibly common for folks to just take on debt for stupid shit, like a jacked up truck they only ever use to drive to the grocery store.
These days you have to take out thousands in credit card debt to buy breakfast.
Just stop eating so much avocado toast!
