(The Hill) – Almost three-quarters of millennials are living paycheck to paycheck, a percentage notably higher than other generations, according to a new report. PYMNTS, which reports on financial news and data, and the financial services company LendingClub, collaborated to release a report titled “New Reality Check: The Paycheck-to-Paycheck Report,” to learn consumers’ financial situations, broken down into the different generations. The survey found 60.1% of consumers were living paycheck to paycheck last month, including 73.2% of millennials. Meanwhile, 65.5% of Generation Z consumers and 64.2% of Generation X were living paycheck to paycheck, but only 49.5% of baby boomers and senior citizens were. The most cited reason for all respondents who said they were living paycheck to paycheck was that their pay only covers basic bills, with 38.4% providing that reason.

Left-handed pitching prospect DL Hall didn’t break camp with the Orioles because they wanted him to continue to work as a starter. His first appearance with Baltimore this year came out of the bullpen, where he thrived down the stretch last season.The Orioles added Hall as their 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Hall, 24, is the No. 2 pitching prospect in the organization behind right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, who is scheduled to start the second game of the twin bill. After Dean Kremer pitched the first five innings of the opener, a 7-4 loss, Hall provided length out of the bullpen for an Orioles’ pitching staff that needed to cover two games’ worth of innings, striking out seven and allowing two runs over three frames.“You bring up DL Hall as your 27th man, that’s a good feeling,” manager Brandon Hyde said before the game. “He’s stretched out as a starter.
