> the increasing unaffordability of life
Define: life
What life exactly can people not afford anymore? The kind people had in 1900? 1950? 2000? What kind of trend are you indicating here, the last two years only or something broader? Because I don't know of a country not actively at war whose chance on a good life didn't improve over the last generation.

People conflate affordability of a certain lifestyle and affordability of a certain level of social status but they are separate things and people really care about both of them.
