Part 2/7:
The initial discussion revolves around an expensive coffee addiction – a habit that seems prevalent among young adults, particularly in big cities. Living in Queens while attending school in Greenwich Village, one student laments the cost of coffee outside of campus, where lattes can run up to $8. When she breaks down the costs, it becomes staggering: if one were to indulge in a daily $6 coffee, that amounts to around $3,000 per year. While the notion of an expensive coffee habit may spark debate about luxuries versus necessities, her friend's defensive reaction demonstrates how such habits can become personal.
