The most affluent consumers account for a bigger share of total US spending, reinforcing the lopsided dynamic of unbothered consumption for the wealthy and more cautious shopping for everyone else.

      I’ve gotten fairly skilled at mending my own cloths as of late. And fixing my shoes.

      By “skilled” I mean I can keep my junk from flapping in the breeze, which IMO is good enough.

      It’s getting rough out there, and I can’t afford to buy that shit now. Thread is cheap, sewing needles are cheap, and extra fabric is easy AF to come by.
