>A 2024 report from the Guardian stated that 71 per cent of Gen Z prefer staying in rather than going out. At Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), some students said this shift is driven by a growing financial burden, coupled with the recent trend of sober curiosity. >John*, a student from University of Toronto (U of T) and an avid party goer said he spends nearly $100 each time he goes out clubbing in Toronto. >In 2024 nightlife transactions were down 41 per cent in Toronto, pointing to a fall in the participation of the city’s bustling club and bar scene, according to payment processing company Square.>Jovicik said there’s a certain lifestyle needed to even be able to party on the weekends. “Especially with the cost of living [in] Toronto, you need work a lot to sustain it…a lot of people don’t have a Friday night off or Saturday night off, I rarely have those kinds of peak days off.”>“With social media, you just don’t really want the kind of drunken behaviour to be around strangers who may post that [and] impact my future,” she said. >Pritam Mandal is a second-year sports media student at TMU. Mandal has recently adopted a sober lifestyle, straying away from alcohol and nightlife in an effort to stay healthy. >“As [I am in my] mid 20s, instead of going out to clubs or pubs after my work or during weekends, I try my best to go to gyms,” he said, repurposing his time for health and productivity. >Mandal said he notices an increase in disposable income now that he is actively not partaking in nightlife and drinking. “I can [buy] better groceries, I have some money for my skincare, for my hair care or maybe to go out somewhere else, or maybe enjoying a different kind of activity.” >53 per cent of people aged 18 to 29 don’t consume alcohol as of 2025, according to LendingTree.

>>534062226Why do we need hourly threads on this?
>>534062226>People don't talk to strangers outside anymore >Everywhere is full of crime that goes unreported because the police doesn't do their fucking job because their boss is a political hire>Drinks more expensive than ever while the salaries are miserable >Young women unironically hate men (I'm not making this up, see the latests stats)>Completely horrible thirdworldist music blasted at maximum volume >Owners and bouncers are the same pieces of shit as always or worseLet it die
>>534062226I go out everyday for a run
>>534062226Yeah, I don't go out because staying in is fucking awesome. Infinite snacks and drinks, my pocket pussy, my AI waifu, video games, internet shitposting, epic drugs, free movies on demand. Nothing outside compares.
>>534062226It's probably like $12 for some shitty IPA that's 5% alcohol. I hope every business ever fails.
>>534062226>At Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU),>Temu Universitylol>>534062445It is indeed surprising how if everything else, like housing, is made much more expensive that disposable income goes down and $30 on a vidya game, for example, that is good for hours and hours wins out over buying ever more beer at pub prices each time.
>>534062226if i go out, i have to see niggerssimple as
>>534062439>2008 retards are old enough to post here
>>534062226>>John*, a student from University of Toronto (U of T) and an avid party goer said he spends nearly $100Yup sounds like 2024 alright.Just after pandemic when businesses were still trying to lull people to go back out.Pre-pandemic and now there's no way you'd be spending as little as $100 CAD. Closer to twice that minimum.
>>534062226>Pritam Mandal>>534062330You enjoy nature by staying in?
