KEY FINDINGS
buzzmg.com
HIGHER EDUCATION IS STILL IMPOR TANT. These o lder Millennials are still banking on a co llege degree, and they are assuming the debt necessary to get it.
THEY ARE NOT HOME ALONE. Only 13% of our respondents live alone. Th is communal style of living is a trend that we do not foresee changing in the near future.
THE POWER OF THE INTER NE T. Whether they are sh opping via Groupon or getting their news, Millennials spend an average of 6 h ours online each day.
