I was heading over to Chelsea Piers the other day when a young lady offered me free tickets to see the Martha Stewart show!!! Although sorely tempted… I hesitated… asked what time the taping was (2pm… imminent), I proceeded to my previously scheduled appointment. Hopefully your daughter will take advantage of many types of free and fun activities in NY, and I wouldn’t rule out the occasional Broadway show (half price tix of course!).

As for that Starbuck habit. I used to start my workday with a giant latte (extra shot of espresso) and a sweet… total around $8. That would be around $160 per month or almost $2000 per year!! But hey, I’m employed and can afford that kind of extravagance! But about 5 years ago I started making my own (drip) coffee at the office. Now I pay about $10/month for a pound of coffee and keep it in the freezer at work. All kinds of budgets available.
