Co-working desks vs coffee shop tables, my wifi bill finally made sense

After 8 months bouncing around Chiang Mai cafes, I did the math: 4 lattes a day plus a mobile hotspot hit about $310 monthly. A $180 month co-working membership gave me fiber speeds and I cut my working hours from 11 to 8. Anyone else realize their coffee shop habit was the real overhead?

Hold up, is 4 lattes a day really the baseline we're comparing here? That's not a coffee shop tax, that's a caffeine addiction budget. I've been doing the cafe circuit for years and my daily tab is like 2 bucks for a black coffee I nurse for 4 hours. The wifi usually works fine too, so I'm not seeing the crisis. You turned a lifestyle choice into a business expense and then acted surprised when it added up. Maybe the real lesson is just order the house brew and stop pretending you need premium beans to open a spreadsheet. Co-working spaces are cool if you hate background noise, but let's not act like fiber speed is the thing that saved your workday.
