I know I'd rather be neck-wet in tequila or in a video game coma or at the movies but it's much cheaper to hang out in a coffee shop with friends for $3/endless cup. For me, then, the coffee argument always strikes me as an attempt to guilt me out of what already feels like a compromise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67881661576743990.post-90265816246464045312010-08-03T13:11:34.366-05:002010-08-03T13:11:34.366-05:00600 on coffee?!

That's something a lot of people don't generally think about. <br /><br />Cash is a strange concept really, because valuing cash on-hand over goods &/or services is really just valuing the security of knowing you have cash on hand should you need or desire a good or service in the future. <br /><br />Personally, I value free coffee moreso than I value coffee I have to pay for. For that reason, I'm going to go get a cup from the break room right now.ce.http://vouchedbooks.comnoreply@blogger.com
