Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den. I'm with dangerous date.
Remember how your eyes used to roll when the old
lady in the store pulled out the checkbook to pay.
I still see it. Here's a twenty twenty five version,
and you're the old person. A new poll by cash
app found that nearly a third of gen Zers think
paying with cash is cringe. Now twenty nine percent say

(00:20):
people who still use paper money or either cringe or
out of touch. Over half say they use it only
as a last resort, like when their account is overdrawn
or they still have five bucks in their wallet from
twenty twenty three, So using cash. I still carry cash.
I do use it on occasion. Most of the time
I will use card, but there are some people that

(00:41):
don't have cards that need to use cash. And not
only that, I'll be more inclined to use cash in
a place if I have the cash and they're going
to charge me a four percent surch charge for using
my card, I got your search charge right here. Deeper
in the dim believe it or not. Just three weeks
from tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We're all released their annual Thanksgiving

(01:01):
report and they claim the food itself is not the
top thing we're looking forward to. Spending time with family
ranks first, followed by the food and relaxing with family third.
A few other stats on Turkey Day that we're looking
at this year, the average Thanksgiving will have nine people.
That's down from ten a few years ago. I fewer guests,
I guess make it a tad cheaper. That's why fifty

(01:22):
eight percent of people said they won't make any changes
to save money this year. Hosting can be expensive and stressful.
Only third hosts says they feel confident and calm going
through it. One in five Thanksgivings will be pot luck,
and I think everybody should bring at least something. Twenty
one percent of hosts will ask guests to bring a
part of the meal. This year, eighty nine percent of
people polled said they'll celebrate Thanksgiving. Eighty four percent will

(01:46):
have turkey on the table. That's up from eighty two
percent last two years. So what's our favorite Thanksgiving food? Now?
Remember this was done by Butterball, the Turkey Company. So
turkey ranked first, followed by stuffing, pie, sweet potatoes, mac
and cheese. I'm gonna say stuffing is my favorite because
I don't get stuffing very often, maybe once or twice
a year, where I get turkey throughout the year quite frequently.

(02:08):
I would have to rank mashed potatoes and gravy at second,
because once again I don't get that very often, and
then i'd have to rank pumpkin pie and turkey. I
love turkey, it's just the fact that how do you
rank it up there with the other things that you
only get once or twice a year. Tun it again
for another episode of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Dave.
