The best $20,000 I ever spent: Starbucks every day of my adult life (millennial barf alert)

I travel back and forth between Ventura and Bakersfield a lot. McDonalds drive thru is my go to. $1 for a great cup of coffee and I don’t even have to get out of the car. If I feel like getting out of the car my fave is the French vanilla cappuccinos at the gas stations $1.79 or so for a huge one. And they’re delicious.

Eeek. Wild eyes & clenched teeth.
Needs to switch to decaf before she kills somebody.

I always get: a venti iced coffee with hazelnut, soy, and caramel drizzle.

That's not coffee, that's a soda.

"I’m in the final year of an MFA program, and my annual stipend is $18,120 before tax"

At age 30.

A normal person could have a doctorate by that age.

And how will she support herself on a MFA degree?

Served in the Navy for 20 years, and worked for the Navy on the ships for the last 20.

The Navy used to run on coffee. Now it seems it runs on Red Bull.
