Bernard Salt

Yeah, well, you're an esteemed company.

Jeffrey Blaney and Bernard Salt would say it's only a matter of time or you're fools if you don't.

I mean, in 100 years, we look back and say, well, that's good.

We maintained all these boundaries that we arbitrarily decided on 150 years ago.

Moralizers, we need you.

So was the plea from self-described middle-aged Bernard Salt in the title of his October 2016 column in The Weekend Australian.

And the target of Salt's moral panic in the right-wing Rupert Murdoch-owned publication? Millennials and their taste for avocado toast.

Recalling his own recent brunch observations, the fittingly named Salt wrote with angst, quote, $22 several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house.

A former James Madison University Division I athlete in competitive cheerleading, Keefe's frustration with the lack of healthy quick-service breakfast options inspired her concept.

And today, much like a fat burglar, this thriving chain is sneaky big, with around 60 locations in America.

It's a Shyamalan-esque twist that Aussie boomer scold Bernard Salt never could have anticipated.

Millennial Keefe forging her financial path to homeownership because of avocado toast.

It's the most predictable theme you can really come across, is how old people are today and how old they'll be in 30 years.

I heard Bernard Salt.

You know Bernard Salt? I heard him- Demographer ...

demographer.

At the MG. Yeah.

Holiday homes.

You've got to remember, so back in the early 2000s, Bernard Salt put Mandurah on the map.

And he just said, Mandurah's the next mini Gold Coast.

And people were investing overseas because you couldn't invest.

but the ageing population is still a challenge.

Demographer Bernard Salt is with me next week to discuss all of that.

And I'm back on Monday, of course, for our regular Morning Call Weekday Edition.

Ray Attrell will be joining me on Monday for that.
