Survey: Americans Spend Over A Third Of Vacation Time For Other People's Events

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Do you feel like you're spending a lot of your vacation time on others? Turns out, Americans are cranky about having to use their days for other people's stuff.

Millennials gave up more vacation days than others for friends. Sixty-one percent said they attended up to 10 weddings in the last three years.
