      Yeah, that’s someone who has so much money he doesn’t understand it.

      If a $4 latte a day is a significant financial burden for you, you will never own a home. If you can own a home, that $4 latte will have no effect on that.

      And the avacado toast? The health effects alone are likely to pay for itself in the medium-term.

          You jest but there’s literally a hipster coffee shop in SF that famously sells a $10 toast…as of 2014 when I first heard about it from my roommate who worked there so it’s probably $15 by now.

      It’s the 21st Century’s “let them eat cake”. Hopefully he’ll see the same fate as Marie Antoinette.

      Man I wish I could buy a $4 latte. Prices for everything are just insane these days. I feel like a basic removed coffee and croissant at any random place is gonna be $10 now. They’re trying to tell us it’s monetary inflation and/or supply chains but that’s all bullshit. I’m in Northern Europe right now and even in pricey chic downtown areas it’ll be like €5 tops.
