On this Friday commute, Paul dives into a BuzzFeed article asking a surprisingly complicated question:

What are the things average people used to afford… that feel almost impossible now?
From vacations and pets to concerts, sporting events, apartments, and even movie nights, this episode becomes a bigger conversation about money, expectations, middle-class life, and whether today’s economy actually makes sense anymore.
Paul reflects on:
- Growing up in the Northeast in the ‘80s
- Why vacations looked different back then
- The rising cost of owning pets
- Concerts & sporting events becoming luxury experiences
- Latchkey kids, two-income households, and changing family dynamics
- Whether people are truly struggling more… or just living beyond their means
- And why even going to the movies feels expensive now
