I have been repeating this over and over to everyone I meet that is not rich and complaining about the economy. This is why you cant trust reddits opinion on all perspectives, alot more poor people than millionaire class on here. Also nobody see's the reports of 50% spending done by the top % or whatever. 50% ill say it again 50%. Mcdonalds and Chipotle CEO's both said same thing two tier economy, they dont see impacts from the upper tier. So they market to them, trying a Big Arc in a recession anyone? Stock Market all time highs. Defense contractora gonna need new cars and toys. Make a product for them.

Im starting a business and thats the whole idea, market to the consumers who are doing 50 percent of the spending.

Its simple, Here is the thought process between the two:

Average person: "Oh man I wish I could buy that but im on a fixed income and my purchasing power keeps decreasing no matter what I do. "

Wealthy person( this could be generational wealth, one hit wonders, single real estate deals, luck, 90s money, 2010's money, precious metal hoarders bitcoin holders,etc, theres like a million ways to be a millionaire):

"I want that" register rings

Sure some wealthy people are cheapskates( for no reason at all) but from the personal stories, that 2% has wasted and lost more money than 50% will ever have. Doomsday bunkers, Yachts, and Personal jets.

Anyone remember the expensive iPhone apps for hundreds of dollars that was just a bling Screensaver. Somebody bought those.
