I Spent $98.58 On Coffee In 2017 And Now I'm Depresso

I just need to stay away from Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts.

2017 was definitely a year for me where I basically lived off caffeine.

I had a lot of early mornings at work and class. And then there was that 2 PM crash that I experienced pretty much every day and would need a little pick me up. In the moment of buying coffee, I don't ever think about much I'm actually spending on it.

Now that I have gone through my bank account and seen how I've actually spent is a little scary. I didn't realize I had been spending waaaaay too much money on coffee over the course of a year. I mean, that's $100 I could've used on something far more important like a bill. Or groceries. Do I regret buying all that coffee though? Nope, it was worth every penny. Does seeing how much I spent make me a little depresso? Absolutely.

It's just so easy to get access to really good coffee. Granted, I could make my own at home, but who wants to use a coffee maker that spits out grinds? Plus, I feel like I can NEVER get my coffee just the way I want it. I can never go wrong with my caramel macchiato from Starbucks or my caramel ice coffee with cream and sugar from Dunkin' Donuts, they're just too good.

Not that I'm going to leave Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts coffee in 2017, but for 2018, I will definitely be spending less on coffee and try to work more on perfecting my coffee at home with a new coffee machine.

My advice on this kind of guilty pleasure, try to not give into your craving for Starbucks or DD. Think about the other things that are more important for you to spend your money on. It's okay to treat yourself every once in a while, just maybe not every day? When it's time for Christmas or your birthday, ask for gift cards to Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts or wherever your favorite coffee place is.

Look up different, yummy coffee drinks you can make at home to spice up for life and keep money in your pocket in the end.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
