Are you down for kicking out the old and bringing in the new ways of life? Well, take a page from those of us born between 1981 and 1996. The world is changing – and it’s because we know what we want and how we want it. Yahoo! Finance compiled a list of the biggest changes we’re making. Among them:
- Eating Out at Casual-Dining Restaurants– If they don’t offer a variety of tasty options AND healthy? We don’t go there – and their bottom line suffers.(And you’re welcome for avocado toast)
- Buying Starter Homes– We’d love to buy one, but living in big cities and not making enough bank makes it difficult. So we’re renting longer – and willing to wait a few years.
- Shopping at Bricks-and-Mortar Retailers– According toCouponFollow.com's 2019 Millennial Shopping Report,we’re shelling out nearly $600-billion every year on the stuff we want…and because we’re busy people, you better make getting our behinds to a mall worth it. Too many don’t – and when we get an urge to buy a Ninja blender at 2am, the Internet is there for us.
- Working Out at Traditional Gyms– I trudge out to a gym, I have to deal with people judging me. I work out with an app in my living room? All the benefits – and none of the smelly dudes next to me on a treadmill.
- Joining Warehouse Clubs– Yeah, mom and dad can enjoy those samples…we’ll be over here loving on Amazon or something.
- Signing Up for Cable TV– Why on EARTH would we empty our pockets for cable for 100 channels we don’t watch anyway? Give us the tech to stream the shows we actually WANT.
- Eating Unhealthy Fast Food- It’s cheap and convenient…but that doesn’t mean it has to be gross. Unless it’s at 1am after a night out…then make it a double cheeseburger…but without the bun.
- Getting Married– For our parents…and grandparents, getting married was what you were supposed to do. Millennials know better – and we’re taking our time. We want to establish ourselves and our careers before we set up house with our forever boo.
- Saving for Retirement– Even with a decent salary, we’re seeing the life to live – and spend – right now. And if we can sock away some dough in our 401k? It’s not as much as we should. We’ll get there.
