Millennials are also the least willing (83% compared to the average of 89%) of all age groups to cut down on non-essential spending, with this being the preferred strategy for Gen X and Baby Boomers (93% and 94% respectively).
87% of Gen Zs and Millennials (vs 81% for all respondents) are getting a second job or investing despite recent trends such as ‘quiet quitting’ and blowups in the stock and crypto investing.
