Scroll for a few minutes and it starts to feel like everyone is winning at life except you. Designer bags casually hanging off an arm. Luxury trips framed as “work travel.” Grocery hauls that somehow cost a thousand dollars but are described as “normal.” Influencers telling you this life is achievable, relatable, and just one purchase away.
