Is it really just wealthy people though? I think a lot of middle class people have a 401k and a home.

I don`t own a home and never have owned a home before. I just try at my job everyday, save money, and invest.

I live in SE MI and feel the same way. I actually hate going out on Saturdays because its packed everywhere.

How about this slice. If you owned a home, invested money, kept your current job with modest raise every year you are wealthier today than before even when adjusted for inflation. Did I just describe a rich person? modest- (of an amount, rate, or level) relatively moderate, limited, or small.

That`s why its kind of confusing. At the start of Covid people got scared, people stopped spending money, people saved money etc. The economy suffered, GDP tanked, people were layoff. People kind of only remember the spending part. But there was a time when the stock market crashed, mass...

Its lower than it was year before.

That`s why we need a economic slow down. But where is it? Where are the mass layoffs? Why is consumer spending up? Why did my local BMW dealership sell more cars in 2024 than 2023?

The past 6 years inflation has went up. The rate of inflation is now lower.

but you understand why giving people more money that won`t fix the problem right? Prices have to go lower or stop going up completely. Demand has to crash.

Again it depends on how you define the economy. It depends on how you define a recession or depression.

A record amount of savings happen in 2021. People started to spend later on. Just giving you the facts. Not opinions.

The labor market and growth in GDP (economy) is completely fine. 2008/09 is when the economy was bad. When the economy is bad people are layoff and prices of goods goes down. Go look at spending data for 2024. All up. If you were a home owner or investor your net worth is also up. We have a...

Yes I understand that.

People tend to associate the cost of living to the economy. but they are 2 different things. The economy right now in terms of labor market is completely fine. The market need to adjust pricing to meet income levels.

The problem is the rate at which it went up over a small amount of time.

Obviously there is a lot more to a mustang that just a 0-60 time though. To name a few: the sound of the V8, the visual design, and the fact most people now drive a truck or some type of SUV. It feel cool to be driving something with 2 doors in my opinion. Doesn`t matter how fast a truck is...

May be so. but I still stand by my statement. I do think the locked ECU effects sales marginally. The percentage of buyers actually tuning a brand new mustang is very small. People still modding and tuning gas cars for drag huh?

Have you seen Supra sales figures this past year? lol probably didn`t get to many people. All new BMWs (supra included) are locked as well. I am not up to date on BMW tuning I remember hearing you can send out your ECU to a foreign country to have it unlocked and or tuned. Again that sounds...

Even beyond the performance. You get a awesome looking car inside and out with BMW dealership experience. Its just the ultimate modern car if you ask me. Of you you pay a lot for that as well.
