In what ways are people today being convinced to spend money beyond their means? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

This varies. There are some stores where it really is 10 for $10 and individual items will ring up at $1.19 or whatever. It can pay to ask.

I'm in a similar place as the OP.

One question I have is about Vanadium. This is chrome based, right? Is it really the best/most secure browser? Aren't the better secured flavors of Firefox better (LibreWolf, Fennic, etc.)?

Brand new the 6a is just over $400. That seems pretty reasonable to me for a modern smartphone.

You could probably get a used one for less.

Millennials own less than half the real estate wealth of boomers—can they catch up? in c/news@lemmy.world

I think the implied premise of this article that the young will "catch up" with retirees is quite flawed. Not saying there aren't issues here but anyone in their 20s and 30s will not be as well off as most are in their 60s and 70s.
