I'm pretty sure its a little more than avocados and bread.

What if we don't eat avacado on toast and still can't afford a house?

I missed you so much

Jesus Christ the guardian is woefully out of touch with reality

Sir if I sell your product can I get a dollar or do me and a million nigguhs got to get together after we ransack your shit?

/the ghetto intellectual vs. the secret calculator always on the bottom

He'd fit right in over at the Republican party.

>If you want to afford healthcare stop buying Iphones. :^)

lets face it, even if it was pure gold toasts those fags would still refuse to take responsibility for their own actions

He's being being facetious, but he's not wrong about millennials being wasteful.

You fags just discovered avocado on toast?

Good luck telling millennials to take personal responsibility for the finances.

>ugh fucking boomers made me take out $50k in student loans REEEE
>ugh fucking boomers make me rent a house instead of saving 3% down for a fed welfare state loan

>get handed over 200k 20 years ago for free
>haha the secret to my success is not eating $0.50 apiece fruits good goy hehe

Your too rich to be this poor son.

Its either a shower or a jacuzzi.

Praise be

Agreed but it's a symbol of the frivolous spending habits of millennials. They also want lattes from starbux instead of drip from home, the latest ifone, "craft" beers, etc.

I don't think he meant a literal financial argument, more of a swipe at the culture. Compare it to the poor immigrants or Depression generation who really tried to save as much as possible to buy a nice home.

I've never had it before Jose.

The main/first argument against this is that it's literally impossible no matter how much you save to get a house on normal salaries nowadays, whereas while it would take lots of saving, it was perfectly possible back then.

I have literally never met anyone who fits this meme. Lots of friends taking bullshit degrees, but otherwise very frugal.

Avocados are like 8$ each dude...

I can't attest to other people's spending habits becayse I dont know anybody but I compulsively hoard money
It's gonna reach a point where I can buy a house and I won't want to, would rather have money and just look at it

>falling for the homer ownership meme
lol fuck off real estate jew

>They also want lattes from starbux instead of drip from home, the latest ifone, "craft" beers, etc.

Mocha Latte Kreuigs are only $1 each and are pretty much on the same level, sometimes better even, than any of these coffee shop """lattes""". Add a bit of whip cream for $0.10 a whip to make it extra good.

i dont understand, avacados are like 25 cents to 50cents a piece when in season, and like double that when not...how the fuck is that expensive when compared with a non nutritious luxury like starbucks...avacados are extremely healthy, thats the kind of thing we should be spending money on, not the empty calorie bomb that a 50gram of sugar starbucks coffee laced with high fat cream that costs $6 a day.

Or are they bitching about millennials going to a restaurant and spending $10 on avocado toast made for them when the net cost should be $75 cents?

>I don't think he meant a literal financial argument, more of a swipe at the culture.

I based it on what I observed in downtown Portland, OR. (I live out in the surburbs and work in tech.)

>its another straw man millenial thread

wtf, even in poland you can get avocado for like 99c equivalent

Now I don't drink coffee (bad for your teeth)
But isn't the cheapest option to buy a Folger's can for $8 that lasts for like a year

You are acting as if the millenial trash wouldn't spend it on more avocado toasts, lattes and Che Guevarra shirts.

Sounds tasty. Keurig has lots of options and it's fast, too.

1 piece of bread w/ some avacado spread + some misc. seasonings would cost, even at retail, no more than $1 to make
idk how retarded and lazy people are to pay THAT much for it

If they have bullshit degrees, then they are in noway frugal.

>a Folger's can for $8 that lasts for like a year
um lol

The article has good points about people's spending but everyone reading it gets hooked on the example of avocados being the damning purchase

Probably, but it's also a quality of life thing. I buy whole beans and make coffee in a French press. But I'm not going to blow money at cuckbucks, which tried shutting down Mark Dice and importing "refugees" btw.

>somewhere guac on toast cost $22
>somehow the consumer is blamed for the high price

GAS BOOMERS NOW

Not over here, they're literally 2 for a dollar.

No fucking way that avacado toast cost $22

>coffee
>not eating two go-cubes with breakfast

IF that were true THEN there would be a point to be made. As is, that's just not the reality of things.

Frivolous millennials is a false narrative made up by boomer kikes who want to trick people into believing they actually pay young people a decent wage.

OY VEY! DON'T MAKE ME PAY MY WORKERS MORE! SEE! THEY BUY SUCH FOOLISH GOY NIK NAKS

>Friend complains about not having money.
>While listening to his Beats.
>While tapping on his Iphone.
>While bragging about his designer cloths.
>And defending his purchase of a new phone coming in 2 months.

Ya, I wouldn't be able to afford anything either.

uh yeah actually it is
somebody else could open up a place and undercut the competition by 50% and still turn a fat ass profit margin but nobody does it so everybody willingly opens their butthole for $20 toast

I just go through the self-checkout at the grocery store and ring up the large avocados as small avocados. The larges are triple the price of smalls while being about double the size.

I also make my own delicious bread.

Ah, so it's avocados that have caused house prices to constantly rise.

The reason is pretty simple: if you're going to make a point by using examples, don't use examples that prove you don't have a single clue what you're talking about.
Really the worst part was his "defense" against the attacks he received for the avocado toast example because that's how he showed he was full of shit. It basically went "yeah this redditard found out I got a $5k loan, but that's actually false because I'm a good goy just like you! You see, I got a small loan of $200k AND another one of $5k". What the fuck was he thinking?

What logic is this? You're saying the consumer shouldn't be blamed since nobody's opening a place with 50% undercut, therefore the consumer should be blamed?

So if he just stopped eating $5 of avacado every day he could have that house in 200,000 days or 547 years.

boomer bullshit aside the concept of budgeting does not exist to millennials.

why do you have an ancap flag if you're not actually a capitalist?

sorry I didn't complete my thought
what the fuck is stopping anyone from making the god damn toast themselves for like $1, is my point

>yes goyim that 1 dollar for an avocado is why you're poor make sure you buy some highly processed garbage posing as food for 80 cents instead and maybe one day you can buy one of the houses I own
Gas the boomers, age war now.

Do millenials not buy homes because they're spending money on expensive things?

Or are they spending money on expensive things because they'll never afford a home?

the latter

But I've seen how people of my generation waste money. They also want a "work-life balance" like wtf.

joe and the jew sandwich store sells sandwiches for $12 and another $11 for a glass of juice and it always full of young people :/

>implying shit doesn't stack up over time
>implying the restaurant (((owners))) aren't charging 20 dollars for avocado toast

Millenial bashing is so tiresome and unjust.

Right, if this is the meaning of the original point, then this is correct.

>an avocado and 2 slices of bread costs $22 in Australia
>not a third world country

pic one

I went way off track lmao

what were housing prices relative to income?
What were inner cities like back then before the great dindu migration north and west?
nimbyism is a yuge problem, lots of zoning and ordinances to protect property values, prevents decent housing to alleviate prices combined with low interest speculation, combined with cities/states raising taxes to pay pensions/blaot bureaucracy.
But the meme continues
You just have to be motivated!...Boomers graduated high school went to factory job could easily afford house have children. They tried a lot harder...NOT.
If everyone is more motivated everyone simply works harder for the same wage same job but some cant so they drop out.
Not saying there is not a problem, but we've also done a lot better in other ways. young adults are not overleveraging themselves with second houses/cottages/boats/RV's etc. When they do have kids they are not beating their kids and less likely to be drunks and tries to be good parents(excluding dindus).
If everyone tries harder(look at 4 year uni college admission minimum SAT scores constantly rising)

>>implying shit doesn't stack up over time
Actually it "doesn't". You can save $365 per year by not making that $1 avocado toast per day (???), but that's never going to help you buy a house even in 5 lifetimes.

Joe and the Jew is garbage. Idiots behind the counter, idiots in front the counter.

I mean I get where hes going but even if they spend the bare minimun for survival they still wont get a home

It's really because not every poor young person is poor because they are a White/Hispanic liberal college hippie who overvalues "cultured" products like fucking avocado on toast. Fuck, outside of that hippie culture crowd I don't know anybody with money problems who gets "fancy" with food. Most overspend on electronics and going out too often at shitty clubs and other nightlife shit.

So it's not a good line to start on. Wealthy, liberal millennials don't need this advice. In fact, they can use a good monetary kick in the face.

Hey man, it's not a case of homes cost less than annual salaries in 1970 and studio apartments costing 5-10 times your annual salary in 2017. It's just those lazy millenials complaining and buying toast for breakfast!

>Know a programmer who lives in San Fran.
>He makes over 200k a year.
>Brags about how he can work from anywhere thanks to the internet.
>Barley has any money because he loves living in DOWWWWWNNN TOWWWWN $5000 rent a month DOOOOWWWNNN TOWN! $500 dinners everywherrrreeee.

This isnt a joke, he stays broke because he cant stop spending money and blames the rich elite for this problem.

IT'S NOT
ABOUT
THE TOAST

Food is cheap in the third world. An avocado costs less than a dollar here. It's only in 1st world countries that food prices are retarded.

That IS true. Just the fact that most of them cannot cook for shit, which means they eat out and waste ridiculous amount of money. If you are waving around smartphone, you are not frugal. If you don't cook your own food, you are not frugal. If you buy clothes more than twice a year then you are not frugal. If you go out more than twice a month then you are not frugal.
If you waste your money on gym card then you are not frugal. The same if you are in college and drive car. Or don't borrow books in library.
Thousand other tiny things that add up.

Reminder that we are talking about a generation that screams most about open borders, let them in, no human is illegal, they are just looking for better life etc. and then they turn around on the spot and start whining about high prices, no housing and low wages.

I sincerely hope the banks will rape them in the ass, niggers will rape them in mouth and they all starve to death.

Instead of telling people to spend less they should be telling people to campgain against taxation. If your tax money wasn't wasted on shit you wouldn't have to worry about fucking guac.

avacados are like 80 cents a pop even in commiefornia everybody is fucking memeing

THEN
DON'T MAKE IT
ABOUT
THE
TOAST

I do that too. I load my cart up with the organic vegetables but charge them as the regular ones. This is why I'm against automation, because guys like me are able to pull shiesty shit.

Aren't the self checkouts weight sensitive?

trust me people are fleeing high tax states like a fucking exodus

The problem there is the assumption that buying a house is even entering their mind. Things like saving, budgeting, not spending 17 dollars on starbucks everyday, are completely foreign concepts for most of them. They are more like modern day africans, living day to day, indiscriminately spending money on stupid shit.

Boomers are full of shit on a lot of things but they're absolutely right about that.

Are you thick?

Obviously it's not just about avocado toast but general life advice not to spend all of your money on luxury treats and instead save up for a house.

>implying millennials even want to buy a house

Most are content to waste life away leeching off parents and playing video games and blowing money on frivolous things.

Your friend is a retard. I make half of what he has and I'm financially secure in the Bay Area.

yes but certain produce is charged per-unit as opposed to by weight

Wow, they want to be able to enjoy their life and not just be a drone that exists only to labor, how awful, how entitled!

"If you want a house, poison your body with (((our))) processed foods in your prime years."

Have you tried reading the post you're trying to reply to before replying to it? It would make you look less retarded than an inbred down's kid if you did I'm sure.

the media has now became cancer

That's the problem though, many of these people that complain are just really fucking bad with money!
That's why this Avacado Toast thing is such a stupid fucking thing and why people try and defend spending that much on what is essentially a "snack"

What, $22 for a fucking avocado? if thrue, you are getting robbed, here it costs $1.

Must be an Australian thing then.
>22 roobucks for a sandwich
lel

>The problem there is the assumption that buying a house is even entering their mind.
It is.

Let me put this in terms even a boomer can understand: You're about to die, your bank account isn't going to do anything after you're dead, so you blow it all on vacations, luxuries, everything you've ever wanted to do.

Now that you've got a grip on that, realize that most millenials have already realized that financially, they are already dead.

Ok buddy, just keep ordering your starbucks coffee.

t. guy who is not going to be financially fucked in 10 years

>stop eating healthy, goyim

Awwww, a cute chart. Tell me, is it just a coincidence that it checks out with timeline when women doubled the workforce and immigration of Europeans was switched for immigration of niggers?
Hope all those 'Equality' posters were worth it.

Yeah because heating healthy doesn't save money in the long run and the entire generation lives in San Francisco the only place in the world where there's even a slight possibility of finding toast for 20 dollars. Keep sucking that boomer cock you good little goy.

W should purge the millennials.

Firstly, you must demonstrate that these are activities that people do. [citation needed].
Secondly, you must demonstrate that the amount of money used up in that process could go toward a house: simply showing that saving this amount of money for 10 years would allow them the downpayment for a local house that a median salary can pay off the mortgage on along with normal living conditions is enough. Until then, [citation needed].

That's not even taking into account the fact that you both think people should improve themselves physically and mentally like the average low-iq Sup Forumstard but also think they shouldn't go to the gym or have access to any weights in general.

underrated

Don't kid yourself.
