FREEDOM! Starbucks every day? Why not?

Life as an adult is glorious; you get to make the rules, you get to eat what you want, there's no one to nag at you about the crap in your car or your room. But the start of adulting is a major time of learning, too. And you know who the best teacher is? Failure. When we fail, we realize, "Well, I won't do that again!" And then we learn. So failure sucks, it's sometimes embarrassing, and it definitely isn't always easy. That's the entire premise of me creating this blog. I want you to fail; not because I like to see you take your Ls, but because I know that growth and learning comes from it. But I do want you to have a resource where you can come to find advice, information, and maybe some skills that you didn't know you needed. 

So here is where I'm the Dream Crusher (blame my husband for that title); this is why you can't/shouldn't grab that Starbucks (or insert your favorite vice here) every day:

IT ADDS UP. 



Take that $5 Frappucino. Shoot, make it a $4 Latte. You're thrifty, right? Now multiply that by 6 days (let's face it, it you have it every day of the week, you probably want to treat yourself on the weekends, too). 
$4 x 6 days= $24/week
$24 x 4 weeks = $96/month
$96 x 12 = $1,152 a year. That's 1-2 college classes. Or two cross-country plane tickets. 12 killer concerts. A LOT of Lululemon leggings (girls, you know where I'm going with this). A new engine in your Jeep. think about all of the things you could buy with $1,152. Now go buy a Keurig and make your own.  Email me and I'll tell you where to buy all of the fancy syrups and toppings. It's really not that bad.
