There is one other weird aspect if you compare millenials with GenX. Millenials spend a lot more money on a lot of stuff that didn't even exist in the period in the 1990s the blog author was talking about. In the early 1990s if you were young & working you: * Possibly didn't have a TV * Were extremely likely to not own a computer - They were REALLY expensive, most people who had them had them because they were in tech and the employer gave you one to take home * You didn't have a $900 smartphone and pay $100 or more a month to use it * Definitely didn't pay recurring software subscription fees, very likely didn't buy any software * Probably went out to eat far less than today * Were less likely to work/live in the Urban core.. you might have needed a car but everything else was cheaper * You weren't going to Starbucks or other Cafes and buying $3-4 Coffee drinks, cause most places didn't even have cafes like that * There was less pressure to keep up with the joneses since Social Media didn't even exist There was a lot of stuff in Millennial culture in the 2010s that was downright expensive.
