But the same house my parents bought for 3,500 avocados now costs 25,000 avocados
wrong, read the title. it specifically says avocado toast.
He ain't wrong though, when saving to buy your first house getting rid of bad spending habits is key.
That, and not living where housing prices are ubsurd. My last house cost me 100 grand, it would have been a 2 million dollar home in some cities.
I don't think saving on a few bucks here and there is going to amount to much if your pay is shit lmao.
the study found that a lot of young homeowners got a financial boost from their parents when making their purchase.
the mandatory is obviously a joke....
... I need some context for this
I always love the argument "just buy a house where it's cheap!!!" Ignoring the fact that a) it's where jobs arent and b) no thanks. I'd rather not own than live in some lifeless flyover shithole even if housing prices are 100k.
Go fuck yourself dickheadFreely spending on avocados — the pricey, popular superfruit beloved by young people — may be one of the reasons why some young people can't afford a house, according to Australian millionaire and property mogul Tim Gurner.
"When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn't buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each," Gurner told the Australian news show 60 Minutes.
There is no context. It's fucking Wint and that makes it hilarious.
I just purchased this $30 Italian Meal

Avocados aren't even that expensive.
The price increases have been seen across the country -- even in the Southwest, the region that typically sees the cheapest avocado prices. There, the average price of $1.65 per fruit is the highest ever seen in the area, and double the amount that it was six months ago. Prices in the Northeast jumped by as much as $0.57.
Mashable pointed to an October article from The Australian columnist Bernard Salt criticizing those who spend a lot on them. "I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more," he wrote.
I did this. Well, not where houses were cheap, but cheap-er. I have a 2 1/2 hour round-trip commute each day to work that is slowly eroding my soul.
Only ways to build wealth:
1.Get a High paying job
2.Start a successful business
3. Inherit money
4. Marry someone wealthy
5.Win the lotto
So the question becomes, why do rich people keep telling poor people to save and cut back.
Even if you save and cut back with a low paying job/income that isnt going to really help you get out of your situation.
Basically when you hear cut back from x to gain more money = troll
These "fuck the millennials" articles are getting a bit tiring. I went to a training conference for work a month ago and they literally had a whole seminar about how millennials are fucking over our country. I just kinda slid down in my seat and looked confused the whole time.

Buy low sell high. If you can't afford the initial investment just ask your dad to loan you a few million.I don't buy avocado toast and still can't afford a home. Anymore tips Mr Millionaire?
I have a friend that maxed out a credit card and cannot make the payments. Yet, still buys a $6 frappuccino everyday.
Whereabouts? I love Poke and Ramen.

avocados are actually bad
please stop putting them on so much otherwise good food
I agree that if you have a low paying job you are fucked, but even if you land a good paying job you still shouldn't be blowing money on frivolous shit like daily starbucks trips. I know a ton of people who seemingly have lots of money but have no savings and are in debt. The dude in the OP is correct that if you are working up from nothing, good budget management is a key to success. Not the only key, but a very important one.

I mean... it's sf. $15 ain't livable wage there
But MacBook Pros, unlike avocados, retain their value over time.How do you all feel about those people you meet in college who complain about student loans and expenses yet spent $2,000 on their Macbook Pro, which they use for browsing Facebook and writing papers?

Yeah, but buying 4 $4 coffees a day isn't the reason why millennials aren't buying a home. >$3,800 is good savings each year by cutting those out, but when you're expecting a >$100,000 down payment for 20% in some of the high value markets, it isn't much. Even 10% is out of reach for many until years have passed.

What, do you think poor people deserve to live like human beings? Nah, screw that, if they are poor they should suffer and not have a single nice thing!Rich person says poor people need to sacrifice more; News at 11
