Millennials are teaching Gen Z how to survive a recession in a way they’ll listen: through TikTok. Drawing from their lived experience during the 2008 economic crash, Millennials are sharing practical advice for Gen Z like building up emergency funds, buying in bulk, and splitting costs with friends. As experts say an economic downturn is on its way, the gen says they’re more than qualified to pass down their hard-earned lessons, and TikTok is their classroom. Whether it’s creators explaining meal prepping with pantry staples or reminding followers that shared subscriptions can stretch a paycheck, the message is clear: community and creativity go a long way in tough times. Of course, the gen who “knows how to party on a budget” isn’t leaving humor out of their advice, and many are reminding Gen Z that sometimes the key to getting through hard times is enjoying a cheap cocktail (the classic jungle juice!) with their friends.
