Millennials and Gen-Zers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases like groceries and vacations, not savings (www.nbcwashington.com)

When I was making about $1400 a month I made a spreadsheet with prices of staple foods from four grocery stores in my area and went to all four on a regular basis to get the best price on each thing. Now that I make substantially more than that I "waste" about $400-$500 per month by only going to one store and buying everything I need. I still feel guilty about it sometimes.

The time saved is not waste.
