Episode Details

Is it still a gift if it’s 3,600 plastic pieces and costs more than rent? In this millennial Christmas breakdown, Shane walks through Ryan O’Donnell’s guide to what younger adults actually want — and it’s not minimalism. Think travel vouchers, Uber Eats gift cards, and crowdfunding your way to a down payment.

There’s real insight buried under the sarcasm: the rise of experiential giving, the anxiety of homeownership, and the changing role of education in a post-degree economy. It’s funny, a bit sobering, and very millennial.
