Scrap the cup a day and put your pennies away

How does finding $1,000 sound? Who wouldn't want to open their wallet and find money just sitting in there waiting to be used. Maybe a new car, even pay off your credit card debt early, or a new item for your action figure collection, or the tree-house you wanted to build with the children. All of these dreams can become a reality. Do you buy coffee? A cup maybe 2 even 3? Well rather than wasting that money on something that offers you no return. Use that money for you, your family, your life. You want that dream? Let's put it in reach for you.


Saving money one cup of coffee a day. One cup to a brand new life!

"Whatever your dream is, every extra penny you have needs to be going to that."

-Will Smith

Penny pinching is a great thing, it doesn't make you an Ebeneezer Scrooge. It's how one can achieve their dreams and reach their goals and aspirations.

I have a few suggestions about how to save money each and every day and in less than 8 weeks you can see a small savings grow immensely and then grow into a large pile of cash.

Saving Tip #1- 

Stop buying coffee from the coffee shop. You buy 1-2 cups a day right. That yummy caramel iced drink, large of course and full of extras like whip cream and extra sauce. On average that's $5 for one of those candy coated caffeinated beverages you could have just as easily make at home or even skipped. Now I love my coffee don't get me wrong I just like to have money to do other things as well.

Let's say coffee isn't your thing but smoking is. Ok well a pack is $5-$8 as well. Smoking a pack a day is about the same price as getting a coffee fix.

So let's add this up shall we...

 $5/day for the vice of your choice X 365 days in the year = $1,825

Nearly $2,000 spent a year on something which offers no return and puts you further away from your dreams.

How about just putting that money into an account and let it gain interest. Put it in a piggy bank if you want. Why would you just waste that kind of money when it would allow you to finally put a down  payment on a new car or whatever your dream is.

There are many other vices we indulge in throughout the day. $1 for a pack of gum, $1 for a bag of chips, $1-$27 for a new phone app. The price of convenience is becoming inconvenient to our wallets. It's big business to make money off patrons who rely on convenience. Isn't it time to invest in you and what you want?
