Starbucks. Everyone loves it. From frappucinos to lattes, from chai tea to Refreshers, it seems no one can get enough. Okay, fine - not everyone loves it. This post might be old, but most of these ideas are still relevant. Love it or hate it, though, it would be tough to deny that Starbucks is a successful company. After all, they are the largest coffee chain in the world. But aside from the drinks, what else…
Hey all! Hope you're having a fantastic evening (or morning, or afternoon). I'd like to discuss a topic that is central to my mission: financial independence retire early.

Because I am originally from Chicago and I'm still somewhat conditioned for the weather there, I just didn't feel like it was "cool" today. I mean sure, it was nearly in the 90s at the beginning of the month, so it's cooler than it was.…
