12 Things You’ll Need To Sacrifice Now for a Healthy Retirement

November 4, 2019 · Retirement Life

Your Daily Coffee Shop Drink

How many of us claim we can’t function without a big cup of joe in the morning? It might seem like a cheap enough thing that’s only making our lives better, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t save more money by avoiding daily runs to the coffee shop. 

Why is that? Well, experts have crunched the numbers, so this is what we’re looking at. If you’re paying $1 per drink that can translate to $7.60 in 30 years. That may not sound like much, but if you put it into perspective you might think twice about it. After all, that’s $5,200 a year, meaning $38,000 when you retire. 

Such changes can seem pretty drastic but not hard to implement if you decide to make your coffee at home. Hey, look at the bright side! You might discover your favorite blend in the process.
