Sound advice….it works.

Start now….when you get old, like me, you’ll reap the rewards of having financial discipline.

@YoungBlood Lol, Ive never had a latte before.Just reg coffee/black, ,sandwiches are either salami or whatevers leftover from dinner the night before or peanut butter if I even have lunch. 😂

Recently I saw another post criticizing this viewpoint, saying that they quit avocado toast for a weekend they're not a millionaire. Reality is that virtue is a habit, and virtue compounds just as vice compounds.

So to get the real rewards of being responsible, you have to keep being responsible every day. Then one day you wake up and a few dollars at a time you realize you've built something surprising with your life.

@sj_zero @YoungBlood If you are smart with your money you too can someday watch it's value drop like a rock as the government prints more and more.

Smart money doesn't keep money in money for the exact reason you're talking about.

@sj_zero @YoungBlood Avocado toast is not expensive. An avocado goes for a buck, or 50 cents depending on season. Split it into 2, smear on a bagel, and freeze the other half.

A latte a day at SBucks is expensive, not an avocado.

@YoungBlood

🤔 or be an unscrupulous asshole and make money of the backs of the underpaid employees.

Honestly, I may be a millennial, but I don't regularly buy avocado for anything at all so I just used it as an example, but you are correct that the key is finding those daily recurring expenses like daily coffee on the road or meals out instead of brown bagging it.

@sj_zero @YoungBlood It just bugs me because it's wrong. Stopping at a coffee shop and having them make you avocado toast daily would be extravagant. Making your own, not so much.

You know, fair enough. Same as the articles in 2024 talking about them darn millennials when some of them are in their 40s. Given how much I know the media lies about a lot of things, I ought to know better than to adopt their shorthand.
