They tricked you. $40/month over two years is still $960 - definitely still luxury.

You are living in pre-inflation mindset.

The US per capita GDP is 90k now. This means its 5% per year. Not really a luxury when people spend all day on their phones. Heck, you'd call walmart groceries a luxury because they are more expensive. Both are needed in 2026.
