To understand the economic rationale behind this, economists turn to the basic consumer theory model of budget constraints and indifference curves. Recall that an indifference curve maps out all possible consumption bundles of goods that yield the same level of utility to a given consumer. Indifference curves tell us nothing about what we can afford, but rather tell us how happy a particular bundle will make us.
