As a young couple starting a life together, I can understand the simplicity of your thinking when it comes to finances. I don't drink coffee, so Starbucks has never appealed to me. I think it's ok to indulge in it once in a while.

I am trying to make healthy choices and staying content with water these days; refraining from soda or juices with sugar. Perhaps some simple meal prep with healthy choices to take with you to work with help over the overpriced food at Starbucks.

Earnings on Medium these days is another story altogether.
