A thread on rising credit card debt in the US, combined with news of sustained spending levels and a rosy outlook on the economy at the surface got me thinking about this.
Recent trends that I thought of:
Those “Pay over X months” schemes for smaller purchases than before.
Tip amounts appearing in more places than they need to be, and increasing.
Inflation of the prices of basic necessities and everything else
Everything becoming a monthly subscription
Deregulation of online gambling and related ads
I’m hoping for more recent trends and things I might not have considered like social media, but I also welcome personal experiences, expanding on any of the above and historical examples.
