A ton of millennials are going into debt because of dating and I'm not sure if it's because inflation is so high or if because millennials are so bad at budgeting

You hate to see this happening to our old pals, the millennials:

Love may not "cost a thing," as Jennifer Lopez once sang, but dating sure does. And it's hitting millennials' and Gen Z's wallets particularly hard.

In fact, 22% of millennials (ages 26 to 41) and 19% of Gen Zers (ages 18 to 25) have gone into debt from what they've spent on dating, according to a September Lendingtree survey.

Overall, survey respondents said they spend about $91 on a night out, on average. [Women] said they would spend an average of $81 on a date, while [men] said they would spend an average of $104.

Now, on the one hand, I never miss a chance to blame the bad economy on Joe Biden and his ridiculous, destructive Democratic policies. That's always an appealing option!

Then again, I also love blaming millennials for their inability to do basic domestic tasks such as craft a budget and stick to it. So that's appealing too!

Aw heck why not blame both! It's way more fun that way!
