Leave #AvocadoToast alone, Tim Gurner

I'm not even a fan of avocado, but I was taken aback by Tim Gurner's comments about millenials and their spending habits on things that don't matter. The Australian property tycoon, 35, says millenials needs to stop travelling and spending money on overpriced food to save for their first home. Gurner has amassed nearly half a billion dollars since buying his first investment property when he was just 19 years old. He said, in an interview with Australia's Channel Nine's 60 Minutes: " When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn't buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each."Well, the internet wasn't having it. Here are some choice tweets from outraged millenials about their favourite Instagrammable food- avocado toast: 

I really hope this $220,000 #AvocadoToast is a good investment. I negotiated the bacon for free during closing! pic.twitter.com/UnmWil2W1D

Yeah, it's the #avocadotoast that's really keeping young people in debt. https://t.co/xPNkTvGt1j

stop buying #avocadotoast OR do what Gurner did & ask grandpa for $34k to start a business, sell it, & eat all the avocado toast you want https://t.co/yQ56GjqY9X

I have never eaten #avocadotoast, yet I am not close to being able to afford a house. Where did I go wrong?

Some are clearly over reading about #AvocadoToast, judging from their tweets:

Is anyone else over hearing about #avocadotoast? Every media outlet has jumped on this bandwagon. I don't even like Avo #millenialissues
