When I am shopping at Starbucks without my mom's money, I tend to keep in pretty simple. I will by a Grande Coffee and leave it at that.
When I am shopping with my mom's money, I tend to buy a Venti Coffee, Sausage Sandwich, the Wall Street Journal, and whatever suits my fancy on that particular day.
To say the very least, with mom's money, I become a very irresponsible consumer.

When we have other people's money to play with, we seem to alway play a little more recklessly.
