What does this have to do with household budgets? You can create a budget plan – or not. Even before digital dementia, many couldn’t.
Sticking to the self-made plans is becoming increasingly difficult. Because you have to reject more and more "great" alternatives (e.g. THE new smartphone) in order for the plan to hold.
For those who care that people whose opinion doesn’t matter admire them for their car, phone, etc.: well, at a decent average salary, it’s currently harder to finance a house. That’s it.
Everyone can check their own priorities.
