Depending on your age, this latest survey might explain why you feel like either you’re among your peers — or that the world has suddenly become younger — when you go out.
Those financially aware millennials, turns out, are doing their part to sustain bars and restaurants.
The latest Bankrate/Cashlorette survey for June 2017 shows more than half of millennials are eating out at least three times a week, compared with 33 percent of Generation Xers, 32 percent of baby boomers and 25 percent of the silent generation.
“In addition, 42 percent of all millennials and 51 percent between the ages of 21 and 26 typically go to a bar at least once a week, versus 24 percent of Gen Xers, 19 percent of baby boomers and 11 percent of the silent generation,” according to the survey.
So, beyond the news that the silent generation — roughly those born between 1929 and 1945 — is still out on the town, the survey also reflects the propensity of Gen Xers and boomers to stay at home.
