Salt Lake City, UT – Millennials, those intrepid explorers of avocado toast and overpriced apartments, have once again baffled the world with their financial priorities. It seems that while the struggle to afford rent or a down payment on a house is a daily crisis, dropping an extra ten bucks on food delivery is as essential as oxygen.
“I can’t believe how expensive rent is these days!” whines the average millennial, while simultaneously tapping their phone to order another overpriced meal kit. It’s like watching a contortionist try to fit a square peg in a round hole – or in this case, trying to balance a lavish lifestyle with a meager income.
Let’s break it down. You can’t afford a roof over your head, but you can afford to pay someone else to bring you food? This is the equivalent of buying designer shoes while living in a cardboard box. Or, to put it more bluntly, your priorities are askew.
“But it’s so convenient!” cries the millennial, as if that justifies spending an extra 300% on a meal. Convenience, dear reader, is not a financial plan. It’s a luxury, one that perhaps should be put on hold until more pressing matters, like housing, are sorted out.
We get it, adulting is hard. But maybe, just maybe, it’s time to rethink those avocado toast brunches and embrace the joys of cooking at home. You might be surprised at how much money you can save – money that could potentially go towards that elusive down payment. Or, you know, just basic living expenses.
So next time you’re lamenting the exorbitant cost of living, take a moment to consider your spending habits. Is that $15 delivery fee really worth it when you could be saving up for a future? Or are you simply addicted to the dopamine hit of having food magically appear at your doorstep? The choice, as always, is yours.
