The real enemy?
That's right. Lattes are devastating American finances! If we writers cut out our $3 latte every day we can save $1000 a year! Of course, we spend every day miserable and under-caffeinated, robbed of our single reliable pleasure in life.What, really, is the freaking point of denying myself coffee, when my retirement fund just crashed ($5000), my home's foundation cracked ($10,000), my car flooded ($500 - didn't meet deductible), my computer died ($1200), I had to move across the country ($1000)...
...there's more but we'll stop here.
I pay State Farm $1600 a year (home and auto).
The world might blow up tomorrow. I'm drinking my coffee.

I hate the "cut out the fancy coffee" advice, too. Not only do I need my caffeine, but it's sometimes the only reason I leave the house, and leaving the house is a goal, so...it's all about choices, I guess.
For whatever reason, this blog post really tickled my funny bone. Perhaps it is because I hate poverty and love coffee.
