Done a lot of that when I’ve brought two classic MB diesels of mine back east from CA. Love that trip!
The NP itself (and the other NPs around there) was awesome. Luckily when I went there wasn't a lot of cars. Kootenay was my fav, Banff took most of the glam so Kootenay was much more quiet.
That's a self inflicted personal responsibility issue. Those will be the first to whine, too.
The treasury is going to spend $1.3 Trillion in interest payments this year. That is a direct stimulus to those that are wealthy enough to own T-bills and money market accounts - ie the top half of the K. Its also far from the only stimulus - like 4% inflation and a fed that doesn't care, good for stocks and other risk assets.
We have the largest and wealthiest retirement demographic ever. They only have so much time to spend it. Next time your out look around - its not a lot of young people, at least what I see. Doubt there putting it on credit.
1/3 of buy now / pay later is groceries.

I’m in the segment with money to spend….. not bragging.
Younger folks think they can rack up debt, max out their credit cards / BNPL loans and simply walk away…… until credit card companies file lawsuits against them.
Look at pro athletics games, night life locations, bars, restaurants, upscale malls, etc….. I see lots of people under 30.
You know me - I follow numbers.
For those that carry a balance, average cc balance for Gen Z is like $3500 and for boomers that carry a balance its closer to $7000. Experian published a study not that long ago.
There are young people with money. No family, no plans for one, you don't have to worry about money as much. Yolo.
Was at a nice resort twice this summer. Whole families there. I presume the matriarch was paying. Perhaps those you see out are on Daddy's money. Maybe you saw my kids .

Busiest Sedona months are April and October. It will be a touron antfarm. Just warning you what to expect. The only way to hike there is to be out at the Crack of dawn and be getting back to your car as the sleep-in tourons are arriving. If you're up to a challenging hike look at Bear Mountain hike. Bonus is no mountain bikes to dodge. You can probably hike right from your lodge. We lived across the valley for 13 years and hiked there a lot but got over it. World class high level mountain biking.
There's a fledgling wine industry in the Verde Valley mainly centered along Oak Creek SW of Sedona, vineyards, wineries, tasting rooms etc. Can't recommend any fine dining, we don't do it. Sedona is a cool place lots to do and see.

“….But having said all that, there is a certain hotel outside Ottawa with a sign that advertises "34 exotic dancers every night" where I won't be staying again. I'd explain but it's a long story.
This is BITOG! And we’re more than willing to listen…..!!
