'Doom spending' is the idea of spending money to cope with stress about the economy or foreign affairs. More than a quarter of Americans are "doom spending," according to a report from Intuit Credit Karma. Strong consumer spending has helped prop up the economy in the past several months. The rise of mobile shopping has also made doom spending almost as easy as doomscrolling.

In an interview with a millennial, two Gen Alphas explained the rules of texting among young people. However, if typing still feels like too much, the Gen Alphas suggested that she could use the voice-to-text feature to write text messages instead. Millennials, Gen Zers, and increasingly, Gen Alphas, often poke fun at one another online. Gen Zers regularly make fun of millennials for wearing skinny jeans, using outdated phrases, and posting boomerangs on Instagram. For their part, Gen Zers are already predicting how Gen Alphas — who have become known for their bizarre sense of humor and memes — will mock them.

Gen Zers are sounding off about the soullessness and exhaustion of corporate work. Some members of Gen Z have gone viral recently for their frustrations with 9-to-5 hours and "soulless" corporate work. For one thing — and it was a big thing — the corporate job came with a salary and benefits. So, for me, despite a rough start, the soulless corporate 9-to-5 thing (more like 7-to-10 in that industry) eventually worked out. Eventually, your priorities may change, and corporate work and its schedules may seem less soul-sucking and more rewarding.

Millennials and Gen Z were also more likely to say money can buy happiness. In addition to soaring food and housing costs, millennials and Gen Z face other financial challenges their parents did not as young adults. Not only are their wages lower than their parents' earnings when they were in their 20s and 30s, but today's young adults are also carrying larger student loan balances. More than half said they would need more than $3 million, and one-third said it would take more than $5 million, according to a report by Edelman Financial Engines.

A Morning Consult and Politico poll in June 2022, right before Biden's first debt relief plan was announced, found that of 2,000 registered voters, 65% of respondents aged 18 to 34 supported $10,000 in debt relief, with 61% of respondents aged 35 to 44 feeling the same.

Millennials are powering the continued remote work boom, and are more likely to be remote. While Gen Zers and boomers want to go in, millennials are opting to work from home. Going into the office is a desire that cuts across generational lines, unifying groups that aren't often in alignment: Gen Zers, Gen Xers, and boomers. That data paints a clearer picture of how remote work has created new segments of workers. Of course, remote work has been life-changing for some .
