The fun part is if you actually do enough of these things, it effects the economy negatively, so they’ll find ways to force you to spend anyway.

Then they circle back like this generation is killing (name your industry) because of the above.

I don’t get the grocery one. Surely the entire point of them is to cook at home? Otherwise you would be getting takeaways or something which isn’t groceries.

My favorite is people complaining about avocado toast. I am absurdly frugal myself but it still just reads funny. “You are not poor! You are just in a situation where buying avocado spread once a month can financially bankrupt you into lifelong debt. Economy is fine!”

Nah I think moving closer to work is actually a solution. Unless your job could happen remotely, in which case it’s a band-aid for a solution the company is refusing to provide. And uh, cooking at home should be the default anyway? Is it not for some people? The price difference is so big, it’s never made sense to see eating outside or ordering delivery as anything other than a treat to yourself.

What better advice is there? The government doesn’t control the price of housing or food. Sure the “war” in Iran isn’t helping, Trump isn’t helping with his tariffs but in general the better advice is to stop complaining and to do something about one’s own life.
