SIX

You have 100 cookies. The gubmint wants to borrow them because it ate all its cookies. Some went to roads. Some went to an invisible plane.
It promises you five extra cookies every year, then your original 100 back after ten years.
That promise is a bond. Later, the gubmint might even offer a NEW promise paying SIX cookies a year.
You try to sell your old five cookie promise to Braxton.
Braxton says, “Fuck you. Your promise sucks. The new gubmint one gives me six.”
So you have to accept fewer cookies for yours. That’s why old bond prices fall when yields rise.
Meanwhile, Mackynzie wants to borrow cookies to build a treehouse. Everyone says, “The gubmint offers six. You need to offer more.”
Mackynzie cancels construction. The treehouse workers get laid off. They are also five years old, like you, but they’re here illegally.
Higher borrowing costs can slow everything down. But six isn’t a magic disaster number. Maybe everyone wants extra because cookies are getting smaller.
That’s inflation.
Now stop eating your hair.

It's scary when I look back on it
Now I am more health conscious. But also I brew my own, so I can select which coffee I want, grind it the way I want etc. Saves a lot of money but I have full control over how it's made.
Whenever I am on the go and need to stop at a Starbucks or Dunkin, I make sure to get it just with almond milk and no sugar. I remember finding out at point point that a large iced coffee has six...yes...SIX full pumps of syrup in it. I ran the math way way way back when I was looking at all of this, and that's more than the max sugar you should have daily per AHA.
