    You speak of “heavy lifting” without reading the article explaining in part how the economy may be impacting these choices.

      Choosing not to drive then is an incorrect headline whereas unable to afford driving would be more accurate.

        Agreed. Moreover, I’d like some more insight in the consumer patterns of Gen Z. A pie chart would be nice including groups like eduction, healthcare, subscription services, entertainment, etc.

        I have a feeling, without the data, that a lot of young people are spending way more on novelty and entertainment things than ever before while they’re complaining about not being able to afford things.
