Related: https://www.axios.com/2023/07/10/unsold-electric-cars-are-piling-up-on-dealer-lots Expensive EVs are about to get discounted, which is going to be great for the people with charging infrastructure and the means to buy them. Luxury cars and full size trucks have already seen discounts return, so we're heading towards a world where the price gap between the cheapest economy cars and expensive luxury vehicles is the smallest it's ever been. Kind of like housing!

In Training posted:aren't single person households more expensive though. yeah which is why it makes sense that they would increase when wages rise, hence the big rise post war, stalling out during reaganomics, then another lil' bump during the past few years (which probably also has a rise in multifamily households since the labor market broke in strange ways)

Medium/long term it's cheaper for me to live alone than to find someone to be my partner and potentially get them pregnant and then have to pay for 18 years of someone who's gonna die in the water wars

The one "legit" use of trucks I've seen pop up is truckbed camping, but it's pretty much entirely 90's and 00's long-beds with fiberglass toppers and a lot of woodworking done, sometimes with a small trailer. Demographic: retirees or would-be retirees who can't afford/are too unhip for #vanlife e; it's inspiring to be homeless but still have to pay for terrible gas mileage

you can date, live together, and even marry without wanting to have kids this second. I think it’s more a representative figure for the lack of community. Less personal connections, less couples.

PoundSand posted:you can date, live together, and even marry without wanting to have kids this second. Yeah but are you going to marry someone who is themselves financially precarious? It's cruel and capricious to think that way, I readily recognize, but there's more to the mental calculus than "my income+their income/1 rent". It's "we have twice the chance of both being ruined by one unexpected medical expense" and "what if they lose their job and I have to carry them?" And even "what if I can find someone more well off to carry me out of poverty" Those issues, when you are stable and secure, feel small, but, when you're on the edge already, they feel like death threats.

Hopefully Toyota's rumoring about bringing back the Toyota Sout are true. I would love to get a small truck since the most that I do that is truck worthy is filling up the back with camping/biking/hiking/boating equipment. Even a midsize truck right now is too big for what I do, and the amount of gas expenses for doing something a small hybrid truck could do makes me want to find another option to drive around.

I there have been multiple "out of nowhere" divorces in my circle in the last few years. Difficult times and some marriages couldn't hold up to the strain.

Given that "marrying up" statistically doesn't happen very often, it wouldn't be surprising if people in precarious situations basically end up delaying relationships indefinitely by avoiding partners in similar situations.

Why are goons automatically assuming that people living together are in a romantic relationship with each other? Have you guys never had roommates before? If anything it just tells me that we're becoming more atomized

But also that trend has been going on for a while and people have been talking about it and researching for a long time. It's probably not one thing and it's probably not purely a reflection of economic conditions. At least some of it is legitimate preference, some of it is it being more acceptable for women to live on their own instead of going from parents to husband, etc.

And tbh, it's just simply a smart economical way to save on rent. But I do think it's just difficult to find someone that you can tolerate to live together, so folks are willing to pay hundreds more to live alone

"Single-person household" is ambiguous, but roommates wouldn't usually be considered part of your household for most things. The trend is the same for people literally living with no one else in the same house, though, so it's kind of irrelevant which one that graph is actually showing.

PoundSand posted:I can see people thinking about this when considering the next step to marriage/kids but I dunno if your average person would let this stop a relationship from progressing naturally in their 20’s/30’s, it just seems like there’s less of that in general. I think you'd be surprised. People in their 20s and early 30s (lmao) are often struggling to maintain their independence while still having a lifestyle that isn't miserable. Becoming financially tied (even if you're not getting married) to someone with a lot of debt or just in a precarious income situation can seem really frightening. I'm, uh, rapidly aging out of that particular group but 5-10 years ago I certainly knew people who viewed their relationships in this particular light despite not being particularly greedy or selfish in other ways. It can feel like a bad deal for both parties because no one wants to resent or be resented by their partner over financial issues. Dual-income households aren't really optional for most people and I think that fact is usually incredibly apparent by the time you're in your late 20s.
