Millennials' spending habits are negatively affected by social media
The TikTokker's post highlights a much bigger issue regarding millennials and social media. The instant gratification generation has difficulty saving money when seeing a good deal on their favourite app.
In an article by CNBC, many millennials admitted to spending money they don't have because of something they saw on social media. In 2018 alone, 57% of millennials reported making unplanned purchases because of a product they saw on their favourite app.
Judging by @kami.larae's post, social media has a tighter hold on our spending than most are willing to admit.
