Results: 4 Things Boomers Still Spend Money on That Millennials and Gen Z Don't

Landlines. While most Gen Zers grew up on an iPhone and never experienced the joys of calling their friends via a landline telephone, for boomers, a landline remains a dependable comfort that has become part of their routine.

Cable TV. Boomers prioritize reliability in their spending. To them, the extra expense of cable TV subscriptions is worth the straightforward access to the channels and programs they know and love without having to learn new tech.

Print Media. Many boomers prefer to read the news the old-fashioned way, holding a paper in their hands. This generation still enjoys tangible news offerings, from being able to complete the daily crossword by hand to experiencing a more in-depth and trusted source of information.

Greeting Cards. For boomers, a Happy Birthday text simply isn't enough. This generation appreciated the more traditional practice of writing physical cards for their sentimental touch and personal gestures. While younger generations opt for an emoji-filled text or social media post, boomers appreciate the offline connection and higher emotional value they believe physical cards offer.
