quintessence, 
Just had a math moment when I realized why certain generations say things like "stop buying coffee" and the infamous avocado toast BS.
Let's say you spent $30/day, every day, on take out lunch and coffee/tea or whatever. If you stopped completely you'd save ~$11k/yr.
This would be the cost of US college in the 80s, ish:

And the median house cost in 1980 was ~$50k/yr (10% down payment of $5000).
