    No, baby boomers, millennials aren’t poor because they eat smashed avocado

    “I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more. I can afford to eat this for lunch because I am middle aged and have raised my family. But how can young people afford to eat like this? Shouldn’t they be economising by eating at home? How often are they eating out? Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house,”

    Middle-aged, own a house (ok, apt), would not pay $22 for avocado toast, don’t care if others do, but no one asked me…
