None of that seems odd and only reinforces the bullshite ideal that millennials are some stain on society.. The reality is that they arent much different than any other generation within the context of their present world.

But frickem because Gen X is the best

I'm pretty sure this researcher said, "I know how to get a lot of clicks, I'll look into the exorbitant lifestyles that millennials live during the summer!"

Then they spent all this time looking up numbers, didn't come up with anything shocking, but said "frick it, I've come this far" and wrote the article anyway.
this sounds like most of my research papers in school

Is this $1300 of mom and Dad's money, or their own?

Big difference to me.

I look at $1,300 and think the same thing as you, Golfer. And I'm a member of the generation labeled 'millennials.'



I need to find the article, I think it was shared on here, but "millennials" that were in High School during 9/11 operate a bit differently. Not only did that event change their world-view, but they remember it vividly. And we all grew up with shared family cell phones, with limits on texting, calls, etc.

And dealt with dial-up internet and google not being the primary resource. There's a sub-set of us born from 1983-88/89 that aren't really identifiable by Gen X or Millennials.

There have been articles written about this. They call those of us that fit that mold to be "Xennials."

I hope the going out with friends is a weekly stat and not just 3 times all summer.

Also not sure how 1300 is a huge number to spend.
