The tiny desk audit that scared me straight about coffee money
I added up my daily $6 latte habit for 2 years while organizing my side hustle receipts in Columbus, and it came to $4,380, which is basically a whole emergency fund I flushed down the drain. Anyone else run the numbers on a small recurring cost and immediately cancel something?

Stop beating yourself up over coffee. That $4,380 kept you going through two years of workdays. Therapy costs way more than that, and so do energy drinks. If the latte was the only thing that made your mornings bearable, that's money well spent. Budgets are about priorities, not just cutting everything that brings joy. You'd probably spend that money on something worse anyway, like parking tickets or takeout.
