Genuinely cannot afford is different than can't afford.

Genuinely cannot afford means you don't have the $15 to buy the movie after paying for necessities.

Cannot afford tends to mean "I bought a 72" OLED last week so no way I'm spending another $1400 on a movie collection".



How many people can afford to pay cash for a 72" OLED?

If you have to use credit to "afford" such things, then you can't actually afford them


Right, you should be stealing them?
