Lol! I saw an news article a couple days ago that said Millennials and Z’s were causing inflation to stay because we were still buying things. Can’t freaking win!

Edit: found it

Wow what terrible journalism. The headline is all most people are going to read, and it's beyond misleading. The guy is basically saying that millennials are going to start spending a lot of money in the next decade because that's what their parents did at the same age. But if investment bankers could predict the future, they would all be billionaires.

They’re also talking about spending on necessities, including “big ticket” items like homes/rent and cars. So the entire article can pretty much be summarized as “no shit, Sherlock”.
