Whenever I hear people complain about rent or groceries I always politely inform them that the Δ Δ of their rent is quite low this month and that means the economy is in fact good
They go back to college, they develop new skills, they do some training, etc, etc.
That's what makes economics hard is that we're dealing with 400M walking talking humans in the US.
