A simple question for the OP is what is the purpose of work? All answers will lead to a point where needs are things that must be met regardless of whether the price is expensive, very expensive or very unaffordable. If we work, we will still get an average salary according to rising or falling inflation and it will continue to correlate with the prices of the goods we buy. Everyone has different purchasing criteria if it is not suitable to buy at an expensive price, there are still other cheaper options. It's all just a matter of taste but as I said above, we will do whatever we can and meet our needs to survive.
Yes, of course everyone who works to be able to meet their needs, even though the needs they need are expensive, of course they have to get those needs and if they can't fulfill them, of course we have to look for other sources of income to be able to meet the needs we need. In this case, each person is different when buying something and of course they will adjust to the income they have because they force themselves to fulfill our desires but the income we have is not enough, of course this will make us experience financial problems in the future.
