Combine average household eating out 3500, a average couple of 2 ordering delivery of 3687, average male and female pair coffee consumption of 4261 and mere lifestyle convenience exceeds 10k.

(Yes I consider unhealthy consumption to be a hobby)

And also consider that Starbucks and doordash don't pay for themselves over 20-30 years like solar panels do and you don't get a 26% refund for them at the end of the year.

Where did these numbers come from? $4261 for coffee? $6/person/day? That’s not a super common amount of Starbucks to get… that would even be counting weekends. I would guess even people who do Starbucks a lot would only get it maybe 2 times a week, which would be $624 for a year for 2 people.

I know people who get a daily Starbucks order, but I only know them from work. There’s a set of people who enjoy the ritual of getting out of the office to go for a coffee run and socializing on the way there and back.

That's for a male and female pair.

Google average American annual coffee expense. it is like 1800 for males and 2300 for females.
