Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her] hated the simplification of the financial struggles of the millennial generation into “too many lattes” or “too many avocado toasts” as a shift away from tackling the actual systemic factors that make it several times harder for young adults… or adults for that matter, to make the same financial decisions as the previous generations. I still dislike it, but rather than internalizing it as a flaw of my generation, I’m realizing that this phrase embodies the mistakes of those who insist that systemic factors are personal failings. Cheeky poem with a saucy backstory? Send me all your creations I cannot wait!
