Millionaire tells millennials：If you want a house， stop buying avocado toast

Tim Gurner， a luxury property developer in Melbourne， is facing heat for comments he made on 60 Minutes in Australia， implying that young people can’t afford to buy property because they’re wasting money on overpriced toast and coffee.

澳洲墨尔本一位房地产开发商葛纳，因为在澳洲电视节目《60分钟》上的发言，饱受外界压力。他暗指，年轻人买不起房产，是因为把钱花在高价的吐司和咖啡上。

"When I was trying to buy my first home， I wasn’t buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each，" he said.

他说：「当我努力买下人生第一间房子时，根本不会花19澳币（约434元台币）吃酪梨吐司，也不会花4澳币（约91元台币）喝咖啡。」

"When you’re spending $40 a day on smashed avocados and coffees and not working， you will never own a home."

「当你没有工作，每天却花40块澳币（约914元台币）吃酪梨吐司及喝咖啡，你永远不可能拥有房子。」

"When I had my first business at 19， I worked seven days a week. There were no discussions around， could I go out for breakfast， could I go out for dinner. I just worked."

「我19岁初次创业时，一个礼拜工作7天，能不能在外面吃早餐或晚餐，当时根本没得商量，我就是一直工作。」

Demographer Bernard Salt also wrote in the Australian last year that if young people stopped going to "hipster cafes"， they could purchase property. "Shouldn’t youngsters be economizing by eating at home?"

人口统计学家索特去年也在《澳洲人报》撰文写道，如果年轻人别再去「文青咖啡馆」消费，他们就买得起房子了。「年轻人难道不该在家吃饭省钱吗？」

Another example is US congressman Jason Chaffetz， who suggested people struggling to afford health insurance should stop buying smartphones.

另一个例子则是美国众议员查菲茨，他建议负担不起健保费的民众，应该停止购买智慧型手机。
