Why do millennials spend their money on frivolous crap more than

How could that even been true?
Millennials are often working 2 part time or even full time jobs just to live on their own.
Extra money? no.

because we have no long term prospects or future. makes more sense to live in the here and now.

Maybe the millennials with actual money spend it on useless crap, this would be because they are only interested in things that have instant gratification (useless crap). Other millennial don't have extra money to spend.

>>132385588

Culture/spirituality has been minimized

Capitalist consumerism is more efficient at this time then it has been at any other time in history. Meaning the market of goods and services available to millennials is GOAT tier.

Also Millennials are just fucking weaklings. Its not entirely their faults but its true none the less.

Why do so many millennials have a stupid bemused half grin on their immature face?

I get around 1500€/1700$ after tax from my unemployment insurance. I spend it mostly on weed, vidya, traveling and nice dinners.

Not having a job gives me time to bargain hunt and coupon my ass off so I can live quite comfy with a small insurance.

Thought it'd be nice to go on a rant and smash millenials here

"Millennials ARE worse off than their parents: Baby Boomers earned 20 per cent more at the same stage of life despite their children receiving a better education"

This is essentially the articles to prove the inequalities between boomers and millenials

However, it doesn't account for ONE very important thing- hours worked.

http://eh.net/encyclopedia/hours-of-work-in-u-s-history/

"For example, in the U.S in the late 19th century it was estimated that the average work week was over 60 hours per week.[17] Today the average hours worked in the U.S is around 33"

>Millenials work 33 hours per week on average
>Boomers worked 60+ a week on average
>The articles, studies, and fake news simply compare the average income, and lampoon "wtf u guys have better education 2 lol" but don't take into account hours worked by both generations

tl;dr boomers work 60+ hours, millenials work 33, obviously if you work more you're going to earn more

Boomers-"Young people don't work as hard"....Graduated highschool applied to factory job, make more than current college graduate and have no debt except mortgage.
Boomers-"You need to save up and buy a house, Renting is a scam"...boomers zoned and ordinanced everything up the ass to protect their property values while inviting shitskins up the ass who cause high crime in the few affordable housing areas.
Boomers-"Welfare is terrible, Pensions and SS good I worked for it"-Doesnt realize how fucking bad at math they were when they engineered those schemes.
The worst Generation of all time. They don't even know how bad they fucked the future. permanently fucked, and the last thing they will do is beg us to spend 2 million each keeping them alive another year while we wipe their ass.

Don't know about that. My dad had tons of jet skis, boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and a blown out Trans Am growing up. Between all that shit, some gold chains, a mullet, and some denim short shorts he basically spent the 80's swamped with pussy.

Do none of you own a modern phone? My camera has "beauty" features that remove all blemishes, makes your face more vibrant, and even a slider to thin you up a little.

Every "selfie" type picture you seen nowadays has a few of the beauty filters already applied, hell my "skin tone" filter was already turned on and working when I got my phone.

Basically, every selfie nowadays is shoop'd

we're the first generation to be able to make full use of the internet, which sells nothing but frivolous crap mostly. there's always someone wanting money, or some "service" you can monthly for, or some faggot-ass streamer thinking they deserve your money. websites want money because you block ads. tshirts made in Indonesia and then printed in the US for $30 a pop.

False. The degeneration of society caused by leftwing fags is what has caused this. Allowing people economic freedom doesn't necessarily lead to anything except productivity

False, leftwing degeneration is a consequence of economic freedom. It's a system based on selfishness and human desire, which is necessarily evil; this shouldn't surprise you.

Late 19th century means late 1800s. You know, before real labor laws which set caps on "full time" employment? Back then, even 8 year olds were working more than 33 back then. This is before fun things like the ACA which made employers shy about employing someone even near full time.

>>132400475
Do the reported spending habits of the previous generations only take into account the age group that millenials can be in? You tend to amass wealth and increase your salary as you age, and so you can spend more money when you're 50 compared to when you're 25.
I'm not saying Baby Boomers didn't have it better than us, just wondering if this graph takes this into account.

I mean I bake my own food, live with my parents, use an old car if I need to, and use the bus pass I have (every quarter I renew it for just 0.007BTC). and I spend all my extra money on figures.

I mean I'm in uni and with no debt so far, I don't expect to go beyong 10k debt which is reasonable.

A combination of permissive Gen X parents who showered them with money and taught them very little about hard work or managing your finances. Coupled with an education system that taught them absolutely nothing about the value of money, or how to intelligently spend it so that you can beat inflation. Yeah, we're fucked.

>>132402190

Exactly. Gen X is in the part of their life cycle where they're earning the most and spending the most on children, etc.

As a millennial I never even heard of avocado toast until the boomer magazines started making it a meme. I honestly think boomers are mistaking millennials with hipsters. This shit is exactly what hipsters would like and sure lots of hipsters are millennials, but no where near a plurality of millennials are hipsters.
