S2 Ep 16: The Great Disappearing Middle - Too Rich for Discounts, Too Poor for Comfort

This week on Vertically Unstable, Kelly and Christy tackle a feeling that seems to be everywhere lately: whatever happened to normal?Remember when a family vacation didn't require a second mortgage? When airline seats were uncomfortable but survivable? When youth sports didn't feel like a full-time financial commitment? When ordinary people could afford ordinary things?Somewhere along the way, it feels like the middle disappeared.Kelly and Christy dive into the growing gap between luxury and budget, the rising cost of everyday life, healthcare frustrations, subscription overload, travel headaches, youth sports expenses, and why so many people feel squeezed despite working harder than ever.Along the way, they debate whether we're actually asking for too much, or whether we've simply reached a point where "good enough" has become surprisingly hard to find.Funny, relatable, occasionally ranty, and guaranteed to make you say, "Thank God it's not just me."Welcome to the middle. If you can still find it.
