You're right but if I'm honest, for me it was because I pissed all my cash on a powerbook instantly and forgot to budget for stuff like food ;-)

I still own that powerbook and it still works and thanks to it I learned to cook so it was a good investment in the long run.

No shit, I was one of them. But we're talking the kind of money you can make in an afternoon of unskilled manual labor, to set you up for a semester's worth of coffee.
All my afternoons of unskilled labor money went towards rent, personally. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
But Coffee gives you the ability to work (at least!) an extra few hours a month.
