I’ve read a good amount about this, and while by traditional measures there isn’t technically a recession, many real‑world signs make it feel like one. What do we think? I don’t think this breaks the 6 rule, it’s an economic question.

    Part of me wonders if it’s a recession, or if the ultra rich have finally squeezed everyone to the point it feels like one.

    I’ve made more money this year than I ever thought I would, like double the most my parents have ever made and yet it doesn’t feel like I thought it would.

      Same. Even adjusting for inflation, if I went back and told myself 10 years ago what I’d be earning in 2025, past me would think it’s “buy-whatever-I-want-money.” I can buy everything I need, but I never seem to have much left over.
