1 in 3 millennials says this Holiday tradition needs to be banned ASAP and I'm on board with it!
If you’re anti-anonymous gift-giving or just spending money on coworkers you don't care for, you’re not alone.
A recent survey said that over a third of Millennials want to ban secret Santa and other Christmas gift-giving money pools. (THANK GOD!)
Before I have to "ok boomer" you hear me out on why this is an awesome idea.
We have crippling debt and anxiety to go along with it thus, we're too BROKE for Secret Santa! (thank you for coming to my Ted Talk)
- 73% of millennials on this survey said they often contribute more than they could afford to an office celebration,
- 25% of us say we’ve even had to dip into our savings or go into overdraft to participate.It’s like reverse Scrooge-ing.
The average millennial reports spending around $166 annually on a coworker’s gift.. .the 17% say they’ve been “called out” for being stingy, it’s a wonder that only 35% of millennials would even like to see Secret Santa banned.
