    I think there’s a real argument to be made in favor of the doomspending hypothesis, particularly with younger millenials and housing. If you accept that you’re simply not going to be buying a house any time remotely soon, the temptation grows to just say fuck it and go buy some nice stuff or go on a trip.

      Speaking with an n of 1, I’ve certainly noticed I tend to spend more impulsively when stressed. Definitely a theory.
