Choosing to ignore news while asking why your own experience doesn't match news seems disingenuous. News like recession is not made up for political or humourous reasons.
I’ve been reading about this cost of living crisis and recession since 2021, and still waiting for it to bite despite the media’s best efforts to kill confidence.
This is such an absurd statement I feel like it must be tongue-in-cheek.
It explains why few people are seeing a downturn with their own eyes in spite of what the media is telling us.
The cost of living has gone up a lot where I live, but myself and friends earn enough that the significant grocery and energy bill spikes have zero impact on us, but if we were on a lower income and already on a tight budget we would definitely need to be cutting back on any non essentials.
