Another day,Movies another headline about millennial spending. Sigh.
This time, a study by Barclays looked into generational spending habits found that millennials spend more than £3,300 each year on coffee, food, going out, and clothes.
SEE ALSO: I'm a millennial and, believe me, coffee is not the reason I'm brokePer the findings, emailed to Mashable, a survey of 20 to 37-year-olds found that the average bill for these items comes to £3,312.74. In a press release, Barclays said that millennials could save "a whopping £10.5 billion a year by making minor changes to their spending habits."
A breakdown of the spending shows that millennials spend an average of £904.20 per annum on socialising, £738.96 on new clothing, £705.96 on eating out, £522.60 on takeout food, and £441 a on "daily treats (coffees etc)". That means that millennial coffee expenditure on average amounts to about £36.75 a month, which won't exactly break the bank (pun intended) in the grand scheme of things.

Many are of the (rightful) opinion that £3K a year is a reasonable amount of money to spend on food, drink, clothing, and spending time with fellow humans.

By this point we're pretty well-versed in responding to millennial-shaming stories, so naturally the jokes started pouring in.

The author of the Manchester Evening News story tweeted that it wasn't his idea to report on the findings and that he considers it "a non-story made to make young people look like we squander our money when the reality is we can't afford a house."
