> I wouldn't say that with such disdain if not for the fact that you clearly think the world of your coffee, yet can't bother to think for the extra two seconds it takes to realize that there is definitively something in your life you buy regularly, that is of no use to you, that you get more because it's simply there.
I honestly can't think of anything. I shop for food once a month, (mostly online) pay my water bill, buy myself new clothes from time to time, car repairs and fuel, pay my martial arts teacher, obviously I've got to buy hair-care products and stuff like that so I don't look atrocious, I spend a reasonable amount on books. But I can't think of anything I just impulse buy and get nothing out of. I don't tend to impulse buy at all - I'm not the sort of person who walks into a shop unless I know there's something I want to buy in there. I find my money goes much further if I make a few high-value purchases that are really nice.
Heck, truth be told I rarely buy coffee. When I used to work in an office I bought an atomic coffee maker and a hot-plate - which I still have - and we made coffee in the office which was vastly nicer than the stuff at the coffee shop.
I suppose from time to time I go out to eat or drink, but there you're buying a social experience as well as the food and it's not clear to me that your $ to pleasure ratio isn't going to be vastly superior to coffee there.
Some people do waste a large amount of money, but I find it hard to believe it's a universal. What is it you think I'm likely to be wasting a lot of money on?
