[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a gen-z thing.

- New Balance shoes, 
- Shop at TJ, Aldies,  Lidl and Costco!! 
- Wear hoodies/joggers mainly from Costco and other places.  Three suits (blue, black, light gray) for weddings, blue/white/gray/pink/black shirts, many solid color ties.  
- Haircuts from the mom and pop ethnic barber shops, 
- Ok with thrifting (tools, pots and pans, garden equipment, golf club, party supplies), 
- Always use apps when buying (even mcdonalds) that they can get freebies, 
- First pay themselves - Roth, IRA, 401, Index funds etc, 
- Hesitate to buy anything new.
- Balanced meals, drink a lot of warm beverages...
- But they will buy big slushie drinks
- Buy baked goods from Asian bakery
- Pack snacks when they are commuting to work for the car
- Have forbidden me to declutter and minimize anything before they can go through the hoard and then sell on FBMP.

Sounds a lot like my son (22). Frugal, focused on savings. His leisure time is hanging out with friends and girlfriend (sometimes bars but he thinks beer there is too expensive, sometimes board games), playing golf at a public course, fantasy football. We gave him money a couple birthdays ago to upgrade his clubs and he never got around to it because they are "fine." I doubt it since they are his grandfather's clubs and he's about 5 inches taller than grandpa was![/quote]
