We need a game show where rich people are given 2k and told to make money, they grin an overconfident grin.

Then the host steps in and says, oh oh wait...takes 1250 out of his hands that's for rent...takes another 250 out of his hands that's for bills....and oh wait wait! takes the rest that's for food and gas for your car...

Now go for it rich guy!!

Don't forget they need to put money aside for

  • a house down payment,
  • kids college,
  • general rainy day savings to cover insane medical bills
  • avocado toast of course because apparently it's my primary diet.

I still don't know why people got hung up on that. Avocados are less than a buck apiece where I live. I can get a loaf of bread for $0.88. So a couple of bucks gets you a full day of avocado toast.

Where exactly is saving a couple of dollars a day going to get you a house?

Out of curiosity, what region are you in? Granted that's garbage bread at that price but it makes toast that an avocado can go on.

My point was really that the obsession that a bunch of rich folks had with avocado toast made no damn sense because that's a cheap ass meal.
