>barely growing global disposable income.

It feels like global disposable income isn’t growing but that’s not true because the list of necessities increase the more income increases, if you lived like a person in the 90’s did you could save a huge amount of money,

How do you propose someone live like they did in the '90s when '90s things like food, healthcare, rent and gas aren't priced like they were back then?

Most people could never afford to live like a person in the 90's. Do you think affording a smart phone makes up for not affording a home? A middle income employed person working full time today has the same work output as 5 workers together had in the 90s. And each of them could afford houses, families, vehicles and more. The middle income worker today cannot afford that.

youre not going to make up the difference in things like housing or healthcare by not having a phone

Simply go back to the 90s and pay 90s prices for rent.

Hava…sorry New Orleans would like a word, where half the houses were falling apart before the hurricane anyway.
