It can look very different.

Burdens can be nonobvious.

I don’t think anyone with financial burdens is spending $500 on a bike and $150 on a kit. And if they are that’s more of a mental issue than a financial one

Not very relevant but I just thought it was funny how it's obvious that you don't do cycling when those are the prices you came up with as an example :)

It's considerably more expensive than that.

$500 is unfortunately now the floor price for mountain bikes, even a Walmart entry level brand.
