Honest question about middle/upper middle monthly budgets: how are we accounting for drugs and alcohol?
Nobody’s sankey drawings accounts for intoxication. The reason I ask is because where I’m from on Long Island, the lines for dispensaries are out the door and around the block as long as they’re open. The soccer moms are regularly drinking a bottle a day, and none of it seems to be accounted for in budgets. A lot of people I know personally are spending between 1-2k a month, and I’m wondering if it’s just a bubble that I’m experiencing.
