  • Those most sensitive to inflation tend to be younger individuals, which is to be expected as they haven't built up their wealth or equity;
  • Despite younger individuals having the intent to travel during the summer, they don't necessarily have the lifestyle and funds to feel comfortable doing so during a recession.
