• Who pays on a first date these days? No one, according to a recent report by Bank of America. More than half of Gen Z is spending $0 monthly on dates. The young generation is full of financial anxiety and are not prioritizing romance as a result. Disinterest in data apps and less urgency to quickly find a life partner has also contributed to the spending drought on dating.

Gen Z is focused on their finances, but one thing they’re not investing in is romance.
