That would bring us back to the original point, in that sessions, like vacations, fancy cars, or a big house are a luxury. If you want to partake you'll at the very least need to budget well and probably earn more than average, depending on how much you want and how much you need for other expenses. Being single really helps here.
No it isn't (not always anyway), just like it's not always people's fault for being born into abject poverty (or even worse, having to live through genocide situations in poorer countries, having no access to fresh water, etc.) and not being able to climb out. Of course if you are at the top of the income scale, you should make changes where you can to improve your quality of life, but it's not realistic for most people. Our economy has a K-shape. All this stuff is a luxury, and at some point you should ask in the richest country in the world, should we have a higher minimum standard of living we can offer to everyone? Different people have different views on this, and both extremes are pretty bad. This all gets at the growing income/wealth gap, which has monumental repercussions, but we don't need another 50-page thread debating this. Sessions are certainly among the first things you should cut out if you can't afford a decent lifestyle. Session girls are targeting guys who are well off.

The point is inflation is not the only metric worth tracking, income growth is too. It's easy for you to pass judgment if you're a web dev, where wages have grown comfortably over the past 10-20 years. Not everyone has the luxury to tell their bosses FU and jump to another company for a 20% raise by solving some toy problems on a whiteboard for an hour.
