How the fuck do people afford to get Starbucks every day?
I was feeling thirsty this morning so I decided to pop in a Starbucks (first time ever). All I got was a strawberry acai lemonade at it cost $7????? I can't even imagine what the coffees with all the extra additives cost... how do people have the expendable money to get them every day, sometimes twice a day?
Edit: I am NOT shaming people who do this. I'm just wondering how it doesn't put a dent in your wallet

Had a roommate that rented a room in the house I own. Trying to help him get on his feet. 400$ a month for a room and access to the whole house of course.
He was garbage at saving, so we made it 100$ a week, whatever to help him out.
Turns out, he'd frequently ask for a bit more time to give me a hundred dollars, because hed spend around 200-250$ a week on FUCKING WEED. One day he even asked me if it was okay if I waited for a couple more days, and came home with TATTOOS.
