I prefer to see it not so much in terms of eternal life being as cheap as an occasional cup of coffee at Starbucks, but more in terms of Starbucks making an occasional cup of coffee as expensive as eternal life.

But you have to be careful to avoid becoming penny-wise and pound-foolish. Odds are there are bigger expenses or potential gains in your life than the coffee you drink, and since you have limited attention and willpower, you should probably work on them first.

I don't even drink coffee so I'm going to have to think hard on what part of my life I should optimize. I picked it because many people drink starbucks coffee (we even have then in my little island country) and I presume you can do it cheaper if you buy your own.

Have you tried their Peppermint Mocha? I'd, ahem, die for it.
