Millennials And Their Avocado Toast

The internet found a new villain of the week: Australian luxury property mogul Tim Gurner.

Tim had the gall to imply that millennials’ spending habits — comprising of “smashed avocados for 19 bucks and four coffees at four dollars each” —was the reason they couldn’t break into the Australian house market, which has in recent years outpaced salary growth.

It’s only the latest volley in the battle between millionaires and millennials, and one in which avocados have becoming an unwitting proxy for the spendthrift ways of the youth.

If you're spending $20 on a lunch out you're not struggling. I love how boomers can lock onto a successful millennial in a crowd and take them as representative of all of us.
"Look! There's one spending $20 on toast! Now stop complaining and get a job that we did 30 years ago that no longer exists!"

Older people whining about the youth is just about the stupidest shit ever. I hope to god I don't turn into that when I'm older.

avocado toast here in las vegas is usually 4-6$ whoever is spending 19$ on avocado toast is already rich.

As an Asian-American working millennial, I eat rice porridge to save time and money. As much as I can.

What if your a millennial Hispanic, its part of the culture. Also avocado with salt is better. Peruvian palta is better than mexican avocado.

The shite is a toastie? I guess you have to have been born in the early 2000s or later to understand. *shrugs *

[kamon]

nice plot, it looks like we already spend less of food anyway (and smoking and boozing).

[JohnpaulArt-gcnm]

avo toast is not "millennial"

[standardengineco.]

It's happening on Divisadero Street right now, you don't want these people buying anything larger than toast, anyhow so let them feel "amazing!"

[RoboLobster]

Yeah but the avocado cartels' business is booming (yes there are such things as avocado cartels)

I sense a new Charlie Brooker weekly wipe here...

[Talosity]

🤔🧐...Hmmm....hmmm. Let’s hope the fanatism of avocado toast (originally designed specifically for pig feed)...is not a indicator...of things become...overall toasted.

[mirjanapetroski]

Millenial but don't want to eat that

[JESUS-cvnn]

J|ESUS CHRIST RETURNS,
R..EPENT OF SIN AND CHANGE YO.U.R... WAY OF L|IVING

[AmericaFirstRifleman]

I don't like avocado unless it's for a alternate source of protein I actually don't like avocados at all and whoever's wasting perfectly good toast by selling it with avocado is an idiot

[DRTOILFM]

Avocado toast is just an example of one of the many things people waste money on. Whether it’s the latest phone they must have, to clothing, electronics, vacations, etc. People expect to have the latest and greatest right away instead of slowly climbing the ladder.

If you can’t afford a house, buy a condo. Can’t afford a condo? Go buy one farther out and commute.
