July 9th - Don't touch my latte
Jul 09, 2025
- "Cut the latte."
- "Stop eating out."
- "Cancel all fun."
We’ve all heard the advice, "eliminate the small stuff to save money." But here’s the truth your financial plan should reflect:
- Life is made up of small stuff.
- Some of that small stuff is a big deal to you.
- Your financial plan should reflect what's a big deal to you.
Aside from the fact that lattes and avocado toast aren't the reason your financial plan isn't working, if these weekly coffee and brunch dates are the exact things that are supporting your relationships and your mental health, you can make them an important part of your life. If these small purchases are worth more to you than the $21 you'd save by skipping them, simply make them a priority (and if need be cut somewhere else).
You don’t have to give up everything you enjoy to be financially responsible. The key is to be intentional with your planning. Know what matters, and make space for it on purpose.
