In general, the millennial generation has to deal with a lot of debt, climbing housing prices, and stagnant salaries. However, these do not motivate them to buy lottery tickets. According to Gallup, only a third of people aged 18 to 29 are playing the lottery. What a big contrast to the 61 percent of folks aged 50 to 64 who do! Perhaps millennials prefer to put their hard-earned cash into guaranteed gratification.

Postcards

This is probably less shocking than the other things on the list. There was a time when 20 million postcards were sold in a year. It is now down to 5 million. When email was introduced, postcards started to be less common. However, the sales have taken an even bigger hit with the introduction of Instagram and Facebook! The Internet has truly made our modes of communication a lot more convenient.
