    Let’s do the math. At a nice brunch place, avocado toast costs $14.

    To make up for the $1,500 increase in rent, you would need to eat 3-4 fancy avocado toasts per day, for an average of 107 avocado toasts per month.

    Given these numbers we can assume that you exclusively eat avocado toasts at restaurants for all sustenance. This would negate the need for a grocery budget, which usually trends at about $300/month, giving you the budget for an additional 21 avocado toasts per month, for a guaranteed minimum of 4 toasts per day (128 per month).

    So as long as you’re consuming avocado toast below this level, it’s probably not the cause of your financial issues.
