Broke, Living In A Basement, With "Negative Savings": This Is What Millennials Spend Their Money On

When work is punished, homes are unaffordable, the American Dream is over, Milennials are burning through their assets or going into debt to survive... So just what is it that they are spending their hard-signed-up-for-benefits money on? We have the answer: Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, the freemium app in which you climb up to the A-list next to Kim Kardashian, made $43.4 million in Q3.


As Vulture.com reports,

She hasn't hit the projected $200 million just yet (and might not), but Glu Games just announced that Kim K's iPhone game, Kim Kardashian Hollywood, took in $43.4 million in Q3.



According to the earnings call, the infamous game has been downloaded almost 23 million times and played for almost 6 billion minutes.

Is it any wonder, with all this 'game-playing' the average American needs to spend less time working and more time sleeping...

I don't mean to offend anyone, but the grown men at home and the video games.. Jeez! I can play the old Atari with one button, lol, and galaga, pacman, etc., at an arcade. But to sit at home until the wee hours of the AM playing video games, is beyond me. How does one go to work and earn, if they're up all night the night before playing video games? And to add fuel to the fire, ask some of these people what's going on, not in the World, but simply what's going on around them...

I'll admit it. I play Battlefield 3 sometimes. I can't play at wee hours of the night. I come home from work, and while the little one is doing his homework and eating his supper, I might jump on for a game or so if I've got no martial arts classes. If that makes me a geek or a loser, then label me as such. I'm ok with it! :)

But it doesn't stop me from being in bed by 9:30 ...
 
I bought an xbox 360 for the kids to play call of duty.

I tried the the Mass Effect 3 demo and I could not believe how good it was. The story was the best science fiction I have ever read or watched. Far better than Star Wars. I have not enjoyed a game as much since but that game was great. I can definitely see how they would get in the way of work if you are not disciplined. I make sure my kids get good grades and only play on weekends.

I lived the real battlefield, and with that, I've not tried the games. I'd probably be best to stay away from them. And you playing a game is different. You work, and spend time with the Family. What I'm seeing is a new group of males who game from the time they come home, til long after the Wife's gone to bed. Then there's my eldest. He has a 10/10 21yr old gf, and she sits, and watches as he games for hours. I can't figure it out. Lol!
Oh, and you also know what's going on in the World. The gamer guys have no clue what's going on 5ft from them, no less, the World...

That's true. I only get to play a few hours a week - if that.
