you are not going to defer on everyday necessities, but you can defer on big item purchases. If you are in the market for an EV, and the report is that EV's are getting cheaper every year. You may just defer that purchase as long as you can. If you are in the market for a house and the report is that housing prices are increasing by 10% every year, you regret not buying that house yesterday.

And yet if you invest the money, the EV gets cheaper for you every year.
