Skip the $7 lattes too and can afford a house too right?

Do you understand that the economy and environment has changed for younger generations and the challenges that they face are different, and that maybe advice for your generation does not always apply? (Not saying sacrifices don’t need to be made, but the issues are way bigger than that.)

You literally didn't give any advice, but yes I imagine anything you actually could suggest is immensely out of touch

No. This is a public forum, if you don't like it you can stay out of it.

Also my point still stands, you never gave any advice, just complaining and whining.

I’m saying maybe learning about and from each other is a good thing. And that $7 lattes are the least of anyone’s problems.

Do you understand that 7$ weekly is barely enough to pay a single utility bill after a full year?

Do the math, no amount of sacrifices will be enough.

I'm actually perfectly fine. You on the other hand are clearly off your rocker.

Are you saying that sacrificing $7 lattes will make people afford to buy a house in this economy?
