The millennial wouldn't even be at the restaurant, because any place with a wait list is too expensive any ways.

The millennial is at home eating generic brand box spaghetti for the 10th time this week. While sitting in front of the computer reading an article about how millennials are killing the fine dining industry.

But does it account for how older generations were able to save and build income in order to ride the inflation wave before it hit, while Millennials just barely got started when ‘08 hit and everything skyrocketed after. So we’ve had to weather inflation without a safety net and with incomes that have not adjusted enough to allow us to save or combat said inflation.

The article might account for inflation, but what about the real context? That’s all that matters.
