The month I actually tracked every coffee purchase changed my budget
Back in March I decided to write down every single coffee I bought on my phone, just a quick note each time. Turned out I was dropping about $4.50 a pop, sometimes twice a day, which added up to $187 in one month. That was more than my whole electric bill, so I started making a big thermos at home instead. By April I was down to $32 total, and the difference felt huge even though it was just coffee. Now I keep a little jar of the cash I wouldve spent and it hit $150 last week. Has anyone else found a single habit that was quietly eating way more than they guessed? How did you catch it?
Man I feel personally attacked right now. I refuse to do the math on my energy drink stops cause I know it's basically a car payment at this point. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
