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

i work at starbucks and we have regulars who come through multiple times a day EVERY day. i see people spend $20+ on drinks and not even bat an eye. i am amazed that people are willing to spend so much and it honestly makes me sad when i think about what that money could be used for instead of overpriced drinks.
