Your counselor sounds like an idiot.

It must be oh so nice to be wealthy enough to afford a $4 cup of coffee; having fancy coffee at a place such as Starbucks is something that I might be able to do 1-2 times a year if I'm lucky.

Typical wealthy people who assume that the rest of us have the same resources and means as they do; **** them.

I hope you find a job soon. Hang in there!
