Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Definitely has nothing to do with sky-rocketing food prices in our capitalist hellscape.
I like how these are always new hip trends.

Why aren't you buying diamonds?

Cuz these economists look at wealth in aggregate, but look at behavior by market segment.
Asset prices have been skyrocketing. That only really helps people who have assets, but it still brings up the average enough to make the economy look it's doing great overall even despite the consumer price inflation.
So if you see that young adults are moving back in with their parents while living in an economy that is, in aggregate, "the strongest it's ever been"... you can only explain it as a matter of preference.
Or alternatively
Food now 2nd highest expense after rent for young people after pandemic supply chain disruption and industry consolidation.
Theres a way out you know.
I mean, two ways out, but if you kill yourself without taking a cop or oligarch with you; you're not helping.
Eating to continue living, now considered the primary "luxury" of this generation! Oh joy!
Insert coins to continue
Given that having somewhere to do said living and eating was a luxury I’m not at all surprised they’d call this a luxury too.
Look at that 40 year old over there foolishly squandering $8 on a dozen eggs!!! LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS CHILDREN!!! YOU DON'T NEED SUCH LUXURIES!!!
Dad?
WHY ARE YOU SPENDING A FORTUNE ON HIGH END DESIGNER PRODUCTS LIKE MILK???
If this ends up bankrupting McD I'll be happy
I personally boycott McDs due to skyrocketing prices for the same shitty ultra processed garbage, among other reasons.
The food is no good, the service sucks, the prices suck. McDs just sucks.

Patented actually thanks Bayer
Good catch
What they want you to think: "Groceries are the new in thing"
The truth: Food is expensive
You know we need a new youth trend: organized gangs who steal bread and stab the fuck out of anyone who tries to stop them.
I mean for what it’s worth, as my income has gone up I’ve chosen more expensive ingredients for cooking. Usually those things are more local anyway, like at my local farmers market or food co-op.
Same here, but within the past year or so we've had to reverse course so we can stay within our grocery budget.
Here's hoping pay goes up and grocery prices stagnate
I’m not gen Z but I did similar as my earnings went up as a millennial. I’d rather make my own food with better ingredients for the sake of my health than buy “luxury” goods that are often just overpriced trash
I've got a wife and a kid and I will say that I live in butt-fuck nowhere where everything is cheaper than anywhere else, however groceries are still getting way too expensive.
“Spends more on groceries than on other categories” so they’re poor. You can just say that. It turns out your money needs to go to keeping you alive before it goes to other things, and if you don’t have much money left after that, you can’t exactly spend more than you spent on food on other things.
Imagine being a consultant and get paid to write completely pointless things like that.

Why give this terrible article more clicks
It deserves the attention and ridicule. It needs to know it did bad and should feel bad.
I don't think a human wrote this steaming hot piece of horsedung
