Got milk? For the past 50 years, Americans have been drinking milk less and less. Dairy farms are disappearing, and some farmers have ditched cows altogether.

How did we get here, and is this the end of the line for milk? 👇
Around 150 years ago, drinking milk was often dangerous. It was teeming with bacteria and quick to turn sour.

The invention of pasteurization and discovery of milk's nutritional value impacted its popularity, and demand surged during World War I.

The "antiwork" trend is growing, as people — particularly Gen Zers — opt out of working.

Here's what's going on. 👇

businessinsider.com/what-is-antiwo…
In America, "antiwork" looks similar to youth-led movements against work in other countries, especially China, where young people are "lying flat" by decentering a drive to constantly be more productive and competitive at work.

Larry, 52, is part of the movement.

Vee Weir, 29, started out in 2016 with $32,000 worth of student loans, personal loans, and auto loans.

This is how she used the “debt avalanche method” to pay it off. Presented by @Fidelity.

businessinsider.com/millennial-who…
Before starting to tackle her debt, Weir realized she needed to find ways to spend less. She decided to lock up her money to stop her spending.

businessinsider.com/millennial-who…
To save more, Weir knew that she needed to make a budget and stick to it. She made a point to live intentionally and within her means in order to increase the amount of money she had free for debt payoff.
