We admit it: the coffee controversy is real.
Your daily coffee habit could be costing you more than you think.

1. Consider the Daily Cost
A coffee from Starbucks costs about five bucks.
That adds up to $35 a week if you buy one every day.
Over a month, that’s $140.
Now think about what you could do with that money.
2. Think Long Term
What if you saved that money instead?
Put it in a savings account or an IRA.
Your future self will thank you for it.
Every dollar saved today can grow into much more tomorrow.
3. Recognize the Waste
Sometimes, you don’t even finish your coffee.
That’s literally money down the drain.
Be honest with yourself.
Are you really enjoying that daily treat?
4. Create New Rituals
Treat yourself, but do it wisely.
Find a balance between enjoying coffee and saving money.
Consider brewing at home - maybe really get into coffee culture!
You’ll save cash and still enjoy your favorite drink.
6. Be More Mindful
In a busy and often stressful world, it’s easy to spend without thinking.
Be mindful of your habits.
Pay attention to where your money goes.
Small changes can lead to big savings - so why not make every dollar count?
