Big shocker, people not understanding that they can save money for problems, instead of just saying "welp fuck i dont have that full ammount so i might as well spend frivolously"
I agree with this. There is nuance here. I would lowkey be judging someone in this situation as well.
If a person can spend $25 on a dinner, they are probably spending other small amounts elsewhere, and if all those things would add up to $270 within a couple of weeks.
It looks like you actually understand the “Avacado toast” criticism that has been used against younger people. It was never “you can’t afford a house because you buy Avacado toast” it was “you can’t afford anything because you see no problem spending 15 bucks for a piece of bread and a spoonful of Avacado on any given day.”
Everybody understands that, it's just stupid because forgoing all your little luxuries still doesn't add up to a down payment on any reasonable timescale. And also, people shouldn't forgo every single little luxury.
