Did you ever really eat avacado toast?
All through my 20s and 30s I read one trash article after another from the older gens where all we Millennials were "selfish" or bad with money because checks notes we ate avacado toast?
Well when I turned 35 during the pandemic, I did it. I smeared avacado on a piece of toast. I had avocados before. I grew up with toast. Never dawned on me to combine the two until the pandemic where everyone left the healthy food alone in my area and blew through everything else at the store, leaving me with nothing but avocados and wheat bread.
It was great. I immediately made another piece. Blew through my carb count for breakfast but I enjoyed it.
Wheat bread was $7.00 because I only had Dave's bread left in my area. All the other breads were bought up. One loaf is 17 slices.
Avocados were $2.56 for a bag of four tiny ones.
I'm not convinced I spent enough to equate to a down payment on a house. Though many articles frame avacado toast as being one luxury item that destroyed my chances.
Now fellow Millennials, who here actually ate avacado toast and did it ruin your chances at home ownership, savings or any other adult milestone we "failed" to reach?
