In the USA, I think most people can easily afford a Pixel 9a at $56/year of device support starting from today.
Calculator checks yearly cost based on device support: (https://ibb.co/xq82YQCw)
I used a New+Unlocked+Pixel+X on eBay to find a rough price of the phone.
Most people get scammed by their carrier and pay $25-45 per month just for their wireless subscription, and many more get caught up in the device bundles which gets you the "latest and greatest", at a huge price. So people are paying, per month, what you can pay, per year for a Pixel.
