(9,073 posts)8. People will spend their money however
We could make a complaint about a billion things that we personally think people shouldn't spend their money on. I guess today the topic is churches. Sure. I don't spend my money on churches, so I'm set.
I think people spend too much money on wine. Guys, it's grape juice. It's just grape juice. Acres and acres of land in a drought climate so you can impress your friends and dates with the completely useless knowledge of how many variations of ass the grape juice tastes. If you actually had the skill of discernment you claim, you'd be employed in Russia as a food taster.

Trader Joe's. $3. Go wild. You'll get just as drunk, promise.
