This is really refreshing! I relate to a lot of your stories, it truly is so much easier to live lean and invest when you’re able to. I’m still not great at investing myself, but I owned that and decided to just buy and not look back. 😄

I still make mistakes when investing. The goal is to trend upwards. The losses get smaller and the gains get bigger. Plus, this market is a really tough one.

Spot on note! I was curious what the impact of $5 coffee has over time and that is what kicked off my writing journey actually!

I built this calculator to look at the opportunity cost of buying coffee and a few other non-essentials consistently. When you zoom out and look at it over time it’s super interesting and also terrifying seeing how big the numbers get … would love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without the people who helped me realize I needed to change.

I was hoping someone would find the title amusing while still conveying a good suggestion. =))
