A pricy addiction

I haven't done real math since calculus my freshman year of college. Basic arithmetic, though, I can deal with. Check it out:

I drink boba twice a week, low-ball estimate. Each boba costs $3-3.50. For calculation purposes, let's say $3.25. (In Berkeley, though, I used to get Quickly for $1.19. Boy, I sure miss Berkeley.)

$3.25 per boba x (2 boba/week) x (52 weeks/year) = $338 spent on boba each year

$338?! That's rent! Or a puppy! Or...

1. A digital camera
2. Gas for like, three months
3. A plane ticket to Hawaii
4. Three tandem skydives
5. Two iPod nanos
6. Food for a third-world country for...a long time

Oh my god, I am a terrible person.
