I'm having a hard time making the connection between the message of this image, and how it would apply in real life. Is it telling us to spend less on Netflix and avocado toast so we can afford a house?

No, it's saying don't leave a good job now just because it's a tough time. It's saying don't give up a better future to have temporary happiness. It's telling you to keep perspective on what you are doing today and how it might affect your future wants and desires.

So for you if that means less Netflix and avocado toast splurges to be able to afford a house because you've identified those things a being related, then sure. But I doubt a picture is telling you to have less avocado toast.

I can't second this enough... Obviously don't stick around for the hell of it if you don't have a plan, but sticking out a few years at a brutally miserable job pretty much made it where I'm set for virtually the rest of my career afterwards... Temporary misery can 100% be worth it

More like spend less time on netflix and more on studying / excersizing

If an opportunity comes along that might be more difficult, don’t decline it just because your job is easy now.
