For the vast majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, rising prices and reductions in hours get reflected in missed payments and bounced checks.
And I used to be one of those people, getting thrown into adulting at 19 during stagflation, working 3 part time jobs in a crazy high cost of living area. Food, basic shelter, transportation. Had a budget for 2 of the 3. My understanding of economics was learned the hard way. Wasn't pleasant, but one has to pay for their education somehow, and I credit that school of hard knocks with getting me to where I am now.
