Costco whole bean coffees....depending on brand like Peets or Lavazza [! when they have it...] can be had for about $13 for 2lb when on sale...less if you buy Kirkland brand.
My coffee comes to about $.30 a mug...about 2 regular cups worth.
Its not just $6 for coffee but also the time and driving/waiting in line at the drive thru in your idling car all adding to the cost. And I see it daily as the lines at the local Starbucks wrap the building.
Young folks simply have not been taught anything about economics and do not understand very much when it comes to money. They have no savings ethos or spending restraints because...of their I deserve it now mentality. And they refuse to learn about economics because its too hard and requires some discipline and sacrifice.
I’ve never been good with money but I did learn to at least seek the advice of folks who are...so a 401K is better than nothing at all. The assumption is that yes you pay taxes on the withdrawal but presumably your income will be less so the taxes will be lower.
Whatever. Big Uncle Sugar will save them...surely. Just Mom and Dad used to ...
The subject of “economics” is a complete fraud whether touched on in HS or a prestigiuos college major. It is a philosophy of promotion the World Bank the World Trade Organization and the mission of the WEF. The “science” of economics is pure gibberish.
Get an journal from one of the big US schools like Harvard or MIT and you will laugh your ass off.
Yep. I normally go for the Columbian or the House Blend (Costco-rebranded Starbucks), whichever's on sale. Tried the San Francisco Bay French Roast last trip - wheeeeee! Octane rating too high for me - back to Columbian.
Bought a OXO grinder and French press carafe from Amazon. The carafe fills up my 2 travel mugs, with a splash left over for that pre-sugar and whipping cream jolt.
