I love how I’ve been seeing more and more of these articles, and in ways they seem accusatory of GenZ/Millenials for not consuming.
I’d like to believe that just as much of folks not going out is them realizing from the pandemic that they don’t need to do it to be happy, as it is that they don’t have the money to go out. Just don’t do it. Have a close group of friends you enjoy. Don’t shell out money to poison your mind/body. There can be an upside to this.
But I'm also finding a resistance to friends going to visit each other. You don't have to spend money to see people, but it seems like even the effort to see people isn't happening.
That’s a good point. I have found that post-pandemic people seem to also be a lot more accustomed to canceling last minute. I almost have more success having semi-large work gatherings than small friend ones.
