someone stop me wasting money at starbucks

[Anteater2]

I remember reading about the "Latte Factor" in David Bach's book, Automatic Millionaire, a few years ago.

Not endorsing the book per se, but check out this calculator (bottom of the page)

Seriously. My sister does the same thing, she wastes an epic amount of money at that place. Personally I do my best to avoid going there. Something about places like Starbucks and Jamba Juice drive me crazy.

Along those same lines, I have some co-workers who go to Starbucks twice a day.

$2,112 per year

What would that work out to in Starbucks stock?

PROFIT!

starbucks sells espresso machines. i guess they're ok. the wife bought a coffee maker which worked pretty good i guess. now it just works at collecting dust since she doesn't drink coffee at home anymore.

People actually but their food? It always seemed overpriced to me.

Which will be the average price of a Starbucks drink 40 years from now 😉

Five bucks is a bit overboard. When I had a job (yep, unemployed), I treated myself to a $1.50 coffee daily cause I was make 15 times that in an hour. Go for the budget menu or just go to McDonalds; their coffee is ass, but dirt cheap.

Get your SO to work there.

Free 1lb bag of coffee per week and 30% off everything. Not to mention insurance for part timers.

Two more months and I can dump my wife off of my insurance and enjoy a nice 12% raise plus get free coffee to boot.

So you're so weak that you can't stop spending money on crap like that?

 

[Jeff7]

Good god, $5 a day? Wow.

My total lifetime spending at Starbucks: $0.



WTH, why is a 2 year old thread back again?

Starbucks coffee = crap. McDonald's has better coffee.

I don't care about you. Fix yourself.
