[quote=Anonymous]We do okay but I just can’t justify random discretionary spending - Starbucks every day, restaurants frequently, multiple vacations per year. I am still baffled by the people we see online who seem to have an unlimited budget for this kind of random spending. The lady who brags about how much her ten year old loves Starbucks. The other day I was doing the math - twice a week is fifteen bucks, 60 per month, 720 a year. By the time the kid goes to college you will have spent 7000 dollars in Starbucks. People with teenagers where the 3 teens seem to spent 100 a month on random stuff or 1200 a month, 14,000 a year in “nothing in particular “. That’s what I can’t figure out how people are affording things. People whose kids are spending the equivalent of a mortgage payment monthly on nails, highlights, coffee, makeup. Yeah it makes you feel poor. [/quote]
