Like it's some, well, they're taking out debt, but it's some element of economic health.

And then it's just a shift in priorities too.

And, you know, we often talk about this like fabled American dream.

It's something I write a lot about because I think it's really interesting.

Like what does the society subscribe to as a path?

And I think right now that path is evolving because of the economic constraints.

You know, houses are just a lot harder to come by, and so it's harder to do family formation, to stay in one place even.

And it's just a different world.

And I think that it's hard because for the past 40 years with this great moderation, where things, the growth of suburbia, the growth of white-collar jobs, it seems like everything would stay stable forever.

And that's just not how the world works, apparently.

No, I think that's true.

And the economic indicator that I brought to the table is a bit similar, where people talk about how much young people are sports betting.

You know, 31% of 18 to 34-year-olds have an account with sports betting, as you were talking about.

32% of them bet three or more times a week.

30% has bet more than 500 in a single day.

But when you ask them if they want this, people say no.

A Pew Research poll found that

over 40% of people aged 18 to 29 think that legalized sports betting is bad.

It's up sharply from 34% in 2022.

By the way, that matters, that change.
