Wow... How to buy a boat? In times of financial distress and people unable to afford rent...it must be so rough on those who are having these kinds of problems....

Terrible journalism 101

Whose bank accounts have grown during lockdown?

I haven't been able to save. Everything has become more expensive.

Charles Payne on good old fox says Americans have over 6 trillion dollars in savings. That’s around 18k a person. I don’t believe him

Some people. Millions more are newly unemployed.

Except the millions who lost their jobs, haven’t been able to pay the mortgage or rent, and have been relying on assistance and food banks to get by. Bad take WSJ.

Can just see those WSJ/Fox/Murdoch folks licking their chops.

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 40 million people are unemployed

Don't listen to this propaganda. If you have finally saved money, don't spend it. Keep saving it or invest in yourself.

Those with jobs left

Somehow people eager to buy boats and pools, etc., is sad. So many people, all over the world, are suffering. Jobless, hungry, homeless. Conspicuous consumers always depress me.

Sounds like a catfish.
