Starbucks every day of my adult life

Well, that three months went by fast. :D

"Paying for a tiny dose of luxury doesn’t make me an irresponsible millennial."

No, but dropping 10% of your salary a year, every year, on coffee certainly does.

Starbucks? Overpriced swill.

Drink coffee. REAL coffee. Hot, black, STRONG in a well seasoned cup. Like the coffee one would get on the mess deck of a Navy ship.

THAT’S COFFEE.

Quit coffee for lent.
More energy. But Starbucks coffee is absolute trash.

I have a lower end but quality espresso machine, two burr grinders, and a milk frothing appliance. Total outlay ~$1k.

I make two lattes most days, one for me, one for the wife. Call it $8 if bought at Starbucks. So 125 days to pay for the hardware, maybe 200 with buying milk and coffee. So ~10 years later, hardware is long paid for, fully amortized, and my costs have been buying the milk and coffee, which is a heckuva lot less than $8/day. Maybe $1.50 a day max, and that’s buying organic milk, which froths up better. Plus I don’t have to go to Starbucks or similar.

Spending $20k at Starbucks is just moronic, plain and simple.

Wish I had $5

I’m in Starbucks right now, drinking what I always get: a venti iced coffee with hazelnut, soy, and caramel drizzle.

I see the problem, Soy Boy.....................

I don’t have lots of hopes for her unless she marries a wealthy man - or woman - or some other species, depending on which of the 57 genders she prefers, or zer prefers.
