What were you spending your money on that you considered high consumption?

[bdangubic]

Love this question so I looked up my credit card statement I just got yesterday (I use one CC for everything)

- $375 coffee

- $752 Amazon

- $124 various streaming subscriptions

- $37 apple in-app payments (not mine :) )

- $427 food outside (restaurants etc)

- $472 home depot / lowes

That's a lot of coffee. I guess that can add up if you go nearly every day, get something fancy, and pay for more than one person.

5-shot espresso machiato, no less that 2 per day… it is beyond addiction :)

No groceries other than coffee?

sorry I meant for this to be like sh*t I don't notice but would if I lost my income. but my coffee-to-groceries spend is comparable :) :)

Anything we wanted without a budget

All streaming services New tech devices New family car Last minute travel was on Costco Eating out when we wanted to

just normal stuff bleeding us out without constraint - but could fortunately be reined in

Didn’t commit to fancy house, private schools or in general a long term expensive lifestyle

Edit:

Buying “the best” of things: The best coffee grinder, espresso machine, robot vacuum, sports equipment, stuff
