Oh, those Millennials! 🤷‍♀️

You’ll often hear how Millennials are “killing things”…dining out, mall shopping…even napkins!

But even they’ll admit they’re don’t know everything.

A new SWNS Digital survey found that less than a quarter of Millennials say they’re good at basic home repairs like hanging a picture or even changing a light bulb!

The average Millennial will go more than three weeks with a light bulb out before they get around to fixing it (or calling someone else to do it).

Some of the other jobs around the house that Millennials can’t (or won’t) do are putting up wallpaper, painting, fixing a loose screw, fixing a heater or tightening the hinges on a cabinet.

Itt’s not all out of laziness, though…one-third say someone else will do a better job at and 14% say they’re too busy to do it on their own.
