"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.

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.

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.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE PEOPLE???????

Why? Who cares? She likes Starbucks. So what?

I probably spent $20,000 on Marlboros over the 30 years I smoked them. At least. I don't regret it. I enjoyed smoking.

And now I enjoy not smoking.

We should enjoy life and not worry what other people do with their money.

If it makes someone happy and won’t hurt him that he won’t have the money for other, more important things, then there is no problem.

Just need to have your priorities straight.

Overpriced corn syrup, caffeine, chemicals, empty calories, and plant estrogens. Some luxury. And we wonder why lifestyle diseases are on the rise.

In the 12 years since I turned 18 and left home for college, I have spent about $20,000 at Starbucks.

Add in the time and gas spent going there and back... Add in the fact that you probably have most of your meals away from home, since you cannot be bothered to brew your own at home... and that $20k figures blooms.

Most American adults can eat pretty nicely for about $7/day, simply by cooking at home for your meals, eating leftovers, and splurging on the ribeye only once per week (when it's down to $8/lb).

According to this 2014 chart, $210/mo covers almost all of the per-person food needs for just about any female of any age, either being thrifty, or just low-budget... it even gets close to covering the family of 4 on a "moderate" expense plan ($7x31x4=$868 of their $895 food budget).

Venti is 20oz. which is the amount I make for myself with each cup. I actually computed that it costs me 16 cents a “cup” (technically a cup in coffee or tea is 6 oz not the 8oz liquid measure cup).

Anyway compared to her 20k$ for 5$ cups I get the same volume of 4000 cups for 640$.
