"Sometime in the future, a friend comes over to my house, looks around and says: “John, how did you and Lisa afford such a beautiful house?”
“Well, Scott, I didn’t think we could do it, but we gave up lattes for twelve-hundred-and-seventy-five-years, and we were able to make a down payment. Of course, there has been a downside: we’ve been dozing off the entire time because of the lack of caffeine.”

Coffee, you're either arrhythmia or against me.
Funny comment, only the author has a weak argument.
If you spend, say, $3 a day on a fancy coffee, that's over $1,000 a year. Let's say you save half of that, by cutting back (not out) the fancy coffee you buy out (as opposed to making it at home for a lot less.
But that's only $500 a year. But starting young, that will compound. Plus, the real point isn't that it's the coffee; but that applying this to all kinds of extra spending will result in real money.
Not that I did this. I didn't. But it's obviously good advice. And a lot of stuff I spent money on years ago means nothing to me now.
I am getting cheaper about a lot of things in my more mature years, even as I have more spending money. (Surprised? As a priest, I don't have a big salary, but I don't have a lot of expenses, either. Driving a reliable old car, paid off 8 years ago, helps a lot, as does cutting back on eating out.)
There are all sorts of things worth giving up to save hundreds of dollars per year.
A new antennae is how I save $50 bucks a month on cable. No more cable, only local and a few odd balls channels like my favorite "create" and "MeTV". (Svengoolie rocks)
Plus+ Comcast-democrat can go to H eeee double tooth picks (channeling chip)

I am pro-separatist Scottish, and as such, I would gladly challenge you all to a cheap contest. Ya hae-na a wee chance, lads an' lassies!
How did Lindbergh know when he was flying over Scotland?
Lindbergh looked down and only saw girls! All skirts.
Close, but it was the toilet paper drying on the clothes lines that was his clue.
It was a feisty young lady from the Bronx, last name Solomon, who always tells me that joke. We get along famously - she's very funny and I always forget the punchlines.
it's to laugh, the on-the-cheap nature of your comments. How faux!
Don't give up coffee. Set yourself free.

I love a good coffee nap on a Sunday morning. Only works on Sunday mornings for some reason.
Coffee first thing in the morning Sunday and everyday! Home brew of coarse.
