      No them too, you’re not gonna see people willingly starve themselves in this pattern but you will see them go out of their way to avoid spending more than they have to on it

      You’re trying to assume that the entire premise is invalid because people will naturally have different spending habits for necessity, comfort, and luxury goods.
