Not so sure about that.
Large cats and large boats in general were pretty rare in these parts through the 80s, 90s, 2000s.
Only truly wealthy people or those who built their own had them.

Now it seems like anyone with a pulse can have a Lagoon 50 or a 50ft Rivierra as their first boat, bloody things are everywhere.

Easy credit?

yeah, that is called money creation. Better consumer sentiment, faster money creation, better for economy. It is followed by money destruction because there was no real value created and economy has to rebalance to equilibrium.

Every cycle people get convinced this time is different and no money destruction will happen. Human emotions do not let them see thru and step out in time, except insiders. And cycle repeats.

See bitcoin created 300B in couple months. People already spending winnings big.
