In my opinion, and this isn't scientific economic analysis by any
stretch, we are shifting back to a more conservative economic approach

we approach spending would be a better way to say it. Increasing equity
in homes, a more realistic approach to expectations - that kind of
thing.

Unbridled consumerism has seen it's day - I think.

That will surely crash the world's economy. ;-(
