Let's think about this: Could it be a) they are unable to save bc of low wages or b) they buy avacado toast?...hmm

-
For those who picked (b), you could write a think piece for a major publication.

Bit B is closer to accurate. They rather buy iPhones and designer cloths than save money.

That's bull shit.

-

-
Millennials--myself included--are more educated than any generation before them. Also, financial crisis was caused by GW, a Republican.
