According to a new survey the latest thing to become way too expensive is: FUN. EVERYTHING Fun.

The online survey by Credit Karma indicates that people feel it extends to more than just concerts and movie theaters. The survey indicates that 20% of Gen Z’ers think that since the pandemic everything fun has drastically gone up in price. That includes live comedy, theatrical shows, theme parks, carnivals, fairs and sporting events.

Some Gen Z’ers are cutting out other expenses like dining out to be able to have the money to do those “fun things.” Others are taking on credit card debt to do them. Some are borrowing from their savings to have the extra money. Still more are either taking on extra work or selling clothing and other personal items to get the money to have fun.

What do you think has become way too expensive in recent years? What do you do to afford it?
