Millennials Are Going Into Debt Because Of Dating
I know you are lying to me when you tell me that millennials and Generation Zers are going into debt because of dating.
As much as I couldn’t believe this, it’s true. LendingTree did a study. This study shows that 22% of millennials which are ages 26-41 and 19% of Gen Zers, ages 18-25, are going in or in debt because of dating. This has got to be the most craziest thing that I’ve heard in a while, but I can understand the truth in it.
With this study, it talks about all of the preparation that goes into a date and all that surrounds it. So think about hair, makeup, nails, pedicures, outfits, and then the date itself. I also think this depends on the person. I don’t wear a lot of makeup like I used to these days and it’s because I don’t have to. I’ve done some great work with my skin. I usually throw on some lashes, fill my brows a bit, and maybe add some lipstick or lip gloss and I’m in the game. Now, I’m also married, but even when you’re married, you still have to date your partner. So, I can see the cost rising for someone who is simply dating.
This study even talked about the rising cocktail costs. Some may go out for drinks before dinner and also according to this study, the cost of cocktails has gone up 4%. I believe that. My girlfriend and I were talking a few weeks ago about going out to get drinks. We talked about the average cost for a cocktail now could be $15. That could be the difference between an appetizer and no appetizer for some. It just depends. A lot of restaurants have great drink specials, so it’s possible to still save some money. Do you think this is true?
