Your mobile and yoga class are cheap but the coffee and cakes are about the same as mine. That is a "fancy" coffee, i.e. "16 oz. Mocha with whip", not simply a black cup of "jo".

I've noticed often how coffee is expensive compared to other stuff in many countries! I remember when I was in China and my coffee would be 5$ for something I'd pay 3$ for in my country. It's scarcity probably, from what I gathered Chinese people haven't been drinking coffee for that long so it's definitely a luxury expense. Maybe even mostly geared towards Western people visiting Beijing (in this case).
It's an addictive substance, the demand WILL pay more for the "fix".
I was addicted to the caffeine at one time. I would get bad headaches if I didn't drink it. Built in motivation right there, to want to drink it, and to want to stop.
Now it's a Luxury, maybe one every 3 weeks, at ~$5.30 USD.
Wow - that's expensive! That really sounds like a luxury :-)
Glad you're not addicted anymore though! I can drink it twice a day but also skip one day without feeling I need it, so I'm really happy about that. If I felt I was addicted I would stop for sure :-)
