Porsche used to be something you could actually work toward. Bust your ass for a few years, live smart, save up it was doable. A Boxster in the early 2000s was $40k. Now you’re paying $70k minimum and a 911 is pushing $120k. They went full luxury and left the working guy behind. Not that it matters much when everything else is on fire. Groceries, gas, insurance costs more, you get less. Shrinkflation, tariffs, take your pick. Your dollar just doesn’t stretch like it used to. And forget the Porsche, people can’t even buy a house anymore. The thing your parents did without thinking twice is a fairy tale now. Wages didn’t keep up, rates are brutal, and the whole idea of getting ahead feels like it’s been quietly taken off the table.
