Millennials and Gen Zers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases like groceries and vacations, not savings.

    groceries and vacations

    Fuck you for acting as if the growing price of basic needs is in the same category as vacations

    What a joke.

    I’m a millennial and I don’t choose to do anything, we’re forced to only spend our money on necessities such as food, because we can’t afford anything else.

    I’m no better off financially today than 14 years ago when I earned a third of what I earn now.

    I’m still living month to month, because all basic necessities keep increasing faster than my wage increases.

    My last holiday was in 2016.

      My income almost tripled in 8 years, i had a better life then. We weren’t doing great by any means but the prospect of owning a house was out there.
