Lending Tree surveyed 2,000 American adults and found 78 percent now consider fast food a luxury.
“78% of consumers view fast food as a luxury because it’s become increasingly expensive,” reports Lending Tree. “Additionally, half of Americans say they view fast food as a luxury because they’re struggling financially”
Of those making less than $30,000 a year, 71 percent see fast food as a luxury, as do 58 percent of parents with young kids, 58 percent of those in Generation Z, and 53 percent of women.
Normally, I’m not one for fast food or eating out, but the wife and I are on a month-long camping trip. One of the great benefits of camping is not having to eat out. We have a galley kitchen that allows us to eat the same on the road as at home.
