Average Millennial Net Worth is $8K
If you’re a millennial, you should be concerned about your net worth. According to a new Deloitte study, you’re only worth a whopping $8-thousand. If your mouth is on the floor, that’s probably where it should be since this was 34% higher in 1996.
We typically get blamed for a lot of things nowadays, but THIS RIGHT HERE is not our fault. The economic pressures of those many increased costs get the blame for this!
Education costs have increased by 65% over the past decade, and student loan debt is up by 160% between 2004 and 2017.Crazy, right?
Deloitte’s chief retail innovation officer and the study’s lead author,Kasey M. Lobaugh, notes: “The narrative out there is that millennials are ruining everything, from breakfast cereal to weddings, but what matters to consumers today isn’t much different than it was 50 years ago.”
So there.

Don’t Drive And Listen To Heavy Metal At The Same Time, According To Study!
Metal merchants beware! Research by Auto Express magazine and road safety charity IAM RoadSmart has found that heavy-metal music could cause motorists to lose their cool behind the wheel and become almost as extreme as their guitar god heroes. And the calming tones of classical music might not be much better, encouraging too much relaxation and slowing drivers’ progress. But pop music could be just the ticket, creating the perfect atmosphere for smooth and controlled driving. In a study to discover the effects of different types of music on driving style and safety, Auto Express and IAM RoadSmart used the high-tech racing rig at simulator experts Base Performance Simulators near Banbury, where drivers from the world’s top racing series go to hone their skills. The findings from the research are published in Auto Express magazine.
- What music makes you feel calm when you drive?

Why ‘Glass Half-Full’ People Live More Fulfilling Lives
Everyone knows seeing a glass as half-full is associated with having an optimistic worldview, but does it hold up to the test? A new study of 2,000 Americans found that people who view a glass as half-full not only think more optimistically, but it may line up with even more personality traits including decisiveness, playfulness, and creativity. When viewing an image of a glass containing an equal amount of liquid and empty space, 58 percent of Americans felt that the glass was half-full, while 16 percent felt that it was half-empty (the remaining respondents were indecisive). Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Borden Dairy for their optimism-inspired campaign, the new survey found that glass half-full thinkers, while being more optimistic, also tended to be more patient, more creative, more competitive, more adaptable and more playful than glass half-empty thinkers.
