This is also similar to why there is about a 15 year lag in nostalgic items becoming more expensive to collect. That’s about how long it takes for people to get enough of their own money to buy the things they missed out on as kids. I have actually started hearing people refer to this as the ‘quarter life crisis’ and there seems to be an equal misunderstanding around it.
