I like Kevin O’Leary, but assuming he’s right about coffee and sandwiches, which he isn’t, saving $5 on coffee and $14 per day on sandwiches over 260 work days is $4,940 Which means it’ll take a 30 year old 20 years to save up a 20% down payment on a median home in Nashville
Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

This perfectly nice starter home in Nashville is on the market for $235K right now. Someone making minimum wage should be able to save up for a down payment on this house in just six years.

That’s not the (moronic) argument O’Leary is making. Because no one making minimum wage in Nashville can afford to waste $15,000 on stupid stuff, as he calls it.

You should watch an episode of Financial Audit with Caleb Hammer. Almost everyone on minimum wage is wasting their entire income on stupid stuff.
