Somehow, working people manage to get along without them. And somehow, people manage to go without, and then save something on top of it.
But, "ok, boomer".
Sorry I just make regular money, and manage to save.

I think your overall point would resonate more if you took it from like a 10 to a 5. I didn’t bother to go back and re-read but your initial reply to Q seemed hilariously over the top aggressive.
I don’t even necessarily disagree with your point. Canadian expectations of standard of living is something that is 110% going to decrease in the future, that’s something you can bank on without doubt. And it’ll be good for society I think, weirdly.
