澳洲富豪建議年輕人別吃牛油果 省錢買房!

Owning a property is actually as simple as giving up avocado toast and fancy coffee.
想買房，其實只要戒掉牛油果吐司和高級咖啡就好了。

That's according to Australian millionaire Tim Gurner, a luxury property developer in Melbourne, who has antagonized young people everywhere by suggesting their housing woes are caused by millennials' spending habits, rather than a combination of stagnant wages and spiralling house prices in many cities.
這是澳大利亞百萬富翁、墨爾本高檔房地產開發商蒂姆·古納的觀點，他認爲千禧一代面臨的住房困境是由他們自己的消費習慣造成的，而非停滯不前的工資與許多城市不斷攀升的房價造成的。這一言論引起了各地年輕人的反感。

When asked if he believes young people will never own their own homes: "Absolutely, when you're spending $40 a day on smashed avocados and coffees and not working. Of course."
當被問及他是否認爲年輕人將永遠都無法擁有自己的房子時，古納說：“絕對是這樣，如果你每天花40美元買牛油果泥和咖啡，還不工作。當然永遠買不起。”

He then went on to suggest young people aren't working hard enough by offering his own story as a point of comparison.
接着他還拋出了自己的經歷作爲對比，暗示年輕人工作不夠努力。

"When I had my first business when I was 19, I was in the gym at 6 am, and I finished my work at 10:30 pm, and I did it seven days a week, and I did it until I could afford my first home."
他說：“我19歲時開了第一家公司。那時，我早上六點就到了健身房，工作到晚上十點半，一週七天都是如此。我一直這麼做，直到我能買得起自己的第一套房子。”

Unsurprisingly, Gurner's comments went down like a lead balloon on social media.
不出所料，社交媒體用戶對古納的言論根本不買賬。

Gurner isn't the first person to suggest young people's avocado toast habit was ruining their chance of buying a home. Writing in The Australian Magazine last year, columnist Bernard Salt said young "hipsters" were spending too much money dining out.
古納不是第一個指出年輕人吃牛油果吐司的消費習慣毀掉他們買房希望的人。《澳大利亞雜誌》專欄作家伯納德·索爾特去年曾寫道，年輕的“時髦”人士在外出就餐上花了太多錢。

"I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more. I can afford to eat this for lunch because I am middle aged and have raised my family. But how can young people afford to eat like this?" he wrote.
他寫道：“我見到過年輕人點一客至少22美元的牛油果泥和撒了羊乳酪屑的五穀烤麪包。我午飯吃得起這個，是因爲我人到中年，孩子已經養大。但年輕人哪來的錢這麼吃呢？”

"Shouldn't they be economising by eating at home? How often are they eating out? Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house."
“他們現在不應該是在家吃飯以節省開支嗎？他們多久出去吃一次？每次22美元，每週出去吃幾次，把這些錢省下來都可以付房子首付了。”
