Some great ideas for those coming to Tucson. Desert museum and Sabino Canyon are both terrific. I also recommend Carnitas la Yoca for authentic Sonoran food. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
36 Hours in Tucson, Ariz.
Stargaze from desert observatories, try traditional Sonoran spirits and hit the local trails in Arizona’s mountain-ringed second city.

Wow...Obviously there are state-by-state differences in cost of living and no info here on where survey was done. But at face value, GenZ only considers approx top 5% of all wage earners as financially successful. Winner take all culture exemplified.
