the process by which a newspaper of note descends into the bowels of tabloid sensationalism or glossy-magazine frivolity, through the replacement of serious news by "lifestyle" features.

Lifestyle creep refers to a phenomenon where an increase in income leads to an increase in nonessential expenses (things you don't really need).
When this happens, things that used to be luxuries become your new normal, you perceive them was if there essentials.
This phenomenon can start a loop:
You get a raise, so you have extra money.
You have extra money, so you spend more money.
You spend more money, so you live check to check.
You live check to check, so you work harder.
You work harder, so you get a raise.

Person A: I just got this huge raise, any ideas on what to spend it?
Person B: I think you should save it, lifestyle creep is easier to prevent than to stop.

A bottom of the barrel condom found in university health centers, student fairs, and the second-to-outermost pocket of your backpack. Used only in the direst of emergencies, and by skeezy guys with an aptitude for saying "yo, babe, can I take this off?"
