For a long time now millennials have come under fire for their spending habits. Culprits such as coffeeand smashed avocado-- previously held up as symptoms of millennial overspending -- can now be joined by an even more innocuous evil... sandwiches.

The Evening Standard reported calculations from estate agents Strutt & Parker, basically advising millennials to give up luxuries like nights out and sandwiches so they could save up for a deposit rather than being part of "generation rent".

The people of Twitter were not amused. Or maybe they were, it's hard to tell sometimes:

The article contained many enraging figures, such as: "According to the calculations from agents Strutt & Parker, giving up a night out once a week could save more than £6,000 a year."

Let's take a closer look a the figures for a second. For an individual a saving of £6,000 from nights out per year would mean a weekly spend of about £115 on the lash. That's a lot of lash.

However, Strutt & Parker's original analysis applies to a couple saving for a house over a period of five years, so the figures are a lot more reasonable than they appear, even if it still seems a bit steep for a weekly spend.

Their analysis focusses on the potential savings that could be made by a couple by cutting back on: coffee, gym membership, mini-breaks, takeaways, lottery spending, phone upgrades and not going out once a week.

It's also not entirely clear where the Evening Standard's focus on sandwiches comes from, as there is no mention of the foodstuff in the original piece. Mashable has reached out to the Evening Standard to clarify this.

So don't worry millennials, you don't have to give up your sandwiches just yet. If you want to be homeowners simply have no fun for the next five years. Piece of cake! Except you can't afford cake.
