I opened the candy bags and put them in a basket.
A basket that now weighs a hundred pounds.

Pretty soon, the basket will not be the only thing that gained 100 pounds.

Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop.
