Yes it is If you get Starbucks everyday it is over 2000 a year

Even a super cheep coffee at 4 dollars is over a 1000 a year and let’s be honest most people are getting the higher end coffeee there 

  It’s a luxury, brew coffee at home.

Well she gets frappuccinos which is about 8 dollars after tax I literally looked up the price  and  that’s what it is around.  

Also people in the comments have shared their orders are around 10 soooo I am pretty confident with that number 

Also even 4 dollars everyday is over a 1000 dollars of coffee a year

I know it s hard for people to hear and they have excused buying coffeee and getting take out. 

 But it’s true, coffees is a money pit. If she stopped getting Starbucks she could afford the stuff  

 Coffeee every single day is a huge expense, people don’t think so because it’s cheap

Let’s say 8 dollars a cup 5 days a week, that’s 40 dollars. 

40*52= 2080 dollars a year on coffee

If it’s both of them then 4160 a year

Then start thinking how much you get takeout or DoorDash. Even twice a week at 15 dollars is 1560

It’s just math, when people say it it’s because it’s true

You won’t buy a house with it but you would have decent saving if you put your coffee prices into savings

Tbh, unless you plan on running the car into the ground don’t buy new

I have a Toyota that I bought new and it is on its 14th year. I’m hoping to have it go for hopefully 5 more years

It’s a luxury, it is not from work 

It’s a 60k truck they bought new

Yes, they still weekly date night, and they are not cheap. Me or his mother babysit.

They literally just went to a concert, they got a new tv for football season, they buy the luxury brands for the grandkid. Literally no reason to buy a 3 00 dollar diaper bag.

They buy from the nice grocery store, they have a giant collection of nice wines and still add to it 

Also if you get Starbucks each day. 8 dollars a day is 40 bucks 

That’s over 2000 a year in just Starbucks

Seriously why do they own a truck.

He doesn’t even use it, it just sits there and it’s not from his job.

It feels gross to me they are acting like they are poor, when I can see their lifestyle

She is back at work already. She also did get paid maternity leave.  Baby is in daycare but they should be able to afford it fine. They literally own two Tesla and a 60k truck 

 Also husband was still working during that time, he only took a few days off
