I have to say though, social media has really amplified consumer spending being able to change wants to needs especially gen Z/A. And less restrictions such as those buy now pay later fintech and ubereats/delivery.

"Gotta go to Japan to drink matcha or eat that 7/11 egg sandwich since john/jane went there and posted on IG"
"Girl Math is going to Japan to save $10 for better ramen compared to Vancouver"
"Gotta go to spa days in whistler for healing"
"Gotta cop the new aritzia drop"
"Gotta try that new cafe/restaurant shilled by that influencer"

I digress but my IG algorithm lately been showing more reels of "corporate girlie quitting to become a fulltime content creator or burnt out and need a year of travel!!" They dont have enough subscribers to sustain themselves so I feel bad for their BF/husband lol
