Common Questions
Why does a coffee habit cost so much?
+
The issue isn't the $5 — it's $5/day × 365 × 35 years of compound interest. Small amounts invested consistently become large sums through compounding.
Should I never buy coffee?
+
This tool shows the cost, not the verdict. A $5 coffee you value highly may be worth $300K to you. The goal is conscious spending, not deprivation.
