Yeah, I don’t get it. Why not make your own coffee every day? Maybe go out for a Starbucks or whatever once in awhile as a special treat. These young people are idiots.
You can get a pretty good cappuchine machine or espresso at Walmart for $200/then it’s just the cost of coffee after that.
It’s not just the $6 coffee and $4 bagel that makes them broke, it’s the unwillingness to deny themselves of ANYTHING. I guess it’s partly because as children they never had to be frugal because their parents lived well and they want to have all the luxuries of their parents but without the sacrifices.
New $250 sneakers? Sure! Put it on the CC!
Dine out several times a week? Sure! Put it on the CC!
Saving for retirement? I’ll do that “later”. The problem with that is “later” comes way too quickly as us older people know.
