Tiny Tip (That Adds Up) #1 - Coffee Addiction

Think about how much money you're spending on a drink. 2 bucks? 4 bucks? Not a lot right? Think again.

Here's a little story:

I have a friend who is a nursing student. Very serious (and long) days. Every single day of the week, she would buy 2 medium iced coffees from Dunkin Donuts.

Let's do some math:

$2.49 per coffee x 2 = $4.98

4.98 x 7 days = $34.86

For just the school year:

approx. 30 weeks x $34.86 = $1045.80

Imagine doing this for the whole year:

52 weeks x $34.86 = $1812.72

Now obviously, not everyone buys two coffees a day, but just look at how $2.49 can really add up. My tip is just to cut back on the coffee, or whatever your favorite drink may be, whenever you can. I don't even want to think about how much money people' could spend at Starbucks!

You can apply this to buying anything really, it all adds up!
