Is It Just Me, or Does the Economy Feel Sluggish Right Now?

Lately I can’t shake the feeling that the economy just feels… sluggish. It doesn't seem to making a ton of headlines, but the housing market is a mess. In everyday life, groceries still feel high, eating out feels like a luxury, and even small expenses seem to add up faster than they used to.

It’s not necessarily that everything is in crisis, it just feels slower and tighter. People seem more cautious. Friends talk more about cutting back, delaying big purchases, or just feeling uncertain about what’s coming next.

Curious if it’s just my bubble or if others are feeling this too. Does the economy feel slow where you are, or does it feel pretty normal?
