Millennial discovers budgeting
Blog post at 11!!
I track all of my spending. I spend $0.088 per day on ground coffee, of which I drink 500ml every morning in the week and two extra on Weekend days.
That's over £2 per month !
Starbucks sells expensive boiled water.

- SixSigma 10y agoMy point being more that reflecting on your outgoings and measuring their value to you is important. And these insights give you benchmarks for your daily life. I can compare the $20 for a single meal eating out against the $9 I otherwise spend per day on home cooked meals. "Is this meal experience worth more than a whole day's regular food?" "Do I get value from the $10 per day I spend on my car?" "Is $400 per month for a leased car reasonable?"
