买咖啡浪费钱
我不知道那些宁愿把钱花在starbucks这种又贵又没什么特别的咖啡上，也不要把钱花在马来西亚本地独又香又纯的kopi-o。
Avoiding the regular cup of overpriced coffee has become an easy cliché for financial advisers, a symbol of money frittered away. The advice has appeared just about everywhere. Drop the caramel mocha frappu-whatever, they say, or you’ll spend your retirement testing recipes that combine Hamburger Helper and dog food. David Bach, the author of “The Automatic Millionaire,” pushes what he calls the Latte Factor, which he has defined as “the daily extravagances that drain your resources.” Another guru, Paul Farrell, has estimated that skipping Starbucks and compounding the savings could save you an eye-popping $500,000 by retirement. At my own newspaper, Damon Darlin, a financial columnist, has repeatedly brought up this issue.

虽然说这样的奢侈是为了一时的快乐，可是你的快乐也许是好几个我的快乐加起来的。虽然说省钱不是致富的方法，不过滥花绝对不会让你致富，偶尔奢侈一下是不错的。我就是不明白有些人就是喜欢花在自己收入所不能负担的消费，有些人一定要把自己所拥有的花完。看过去好像很有钱，可是其实只是外表耐看罢了。
难道说赚更多钱就可以了吗？如果你还是这样没止度的花费，你还是一样没钱，那我还是把你归类于穷人。

我可以说我是个穷人，但是我的钱却不是花在物资上，可是我又不否认我很妒嫉那些整天喝/吃“这类”东西的人。
某人跟我说过，有些人是有本事天天喝，可是他会一直为“这个”而努力赚钱，有些人就像你说的归类“穷人”，拥有的花完（就算没钱也借，什么的）。

你對starbucks的成功之處了解有多少？你認為它貴，但對許多人來說，它不算甚麼．．．它賣的不只是一杯coffee而已．．．

google员工：你说的对，确实对很多人来说是不贵的。文中我是说给那些人来说“贵”的人，不是给那些觉得他不贵的人。
