Yep, the demographer reckons that instead of spending $22 on smashed avocado on toast, the money would be better invested into a home deposit. Whilst Bernie is a whiz at crunching the numbers, we reckon he’s a little off the mark with his $22 estimate. We’re all for planning for the future, but you can’t blame the beloved avocado for our spending habits – after all, what’s breakfast, brunch or lunch without a good smear of the green stuff?
