      I’d say you’re spot on with this, I’d love to see the stats of spending prior to black Friday… betting it was lower than all last years.

      Since I’m just renting, I have more disposable income for luxury shopping.

        I likely do, nice to meet you.

        I also don’t pay taxes, maintenance, or homeowners insurance. I only have to pay to insure my things.

        You can argue those costs are baked into my $1250 rent, and you’re probably right, but I guarantee it’s less than your mortgage and associated costs would be where I live.
