Affordability:

Of course, people play the lottery with the hope of winning big.

Today’s ‘affordability’ challenges (i.e. general overall unaffordability of daily life) continue to mount as the cost of everything increases — not just food and fuel but also embedded costs like interest on consumer debt and mortgages, insurance and transportation/fuel across various supply chains.

And with the escalating trade war imposed by the USA, the cost of many things will increase further.

Meanwhile, for most people, income does not increase enough to cover all their expenses.
