Mashable recently came out with an article titled, 11 ways Millennials can save money. In it, the author recommends Millennials wash their hair less frequently in order to save on shampoo costs. Andrew comments that the Millennial culture is a painful one, but that pain is being buried and it's only going to get worse. As an outsider peeking in, Andrew sees a culture were depriving yourself is cool and wants to warn others that it really, really isn't.
