Love a great cup of coffee in the mornings!
Hi everyone, my name is Jessie Goh and yes I am a coffee addict! Like any other coffee lover, I need a coffee in the morning or my day will never start. This addiction has followed me for the better part of my life and it would continue its journey with me throught life. That said, it is a very expensive addiction but I can’t help it! So, for over a year, I have limited myself to only one cup of coffee a day. This coffee is usually homemade and does not cost $3.70 per cup.
To live life a little, I allow myself a little Saturday indulgence and I would spend $3.70 on a cup of coffee to kick start my day before a long work day. By following this plan, I have satisfied my coffee addiction but also saved a whole heap of money. The math is as follows:
- $3.70 a cup (Soy flat white – I’m lactose intolerant)
- 5 times a week
- 50 weeks (I figured that there will probably be 2 weeks in the whole year when I don’t drink coffee due to various reasons)
Total Savings: $925!
That is about 9 pairs of gorgeous new shoes at $100 a pop…. 
Saving money does not have to be boring and it definitely doesn’t mean that you have to make sacrifices to the extreme. By cutting back a little, you will be amazed at the amount of savings you can make in your daily life.
