We also browse internet, spend ungodly amount of time on fb/insta/whatsapp/HN/reddit while at work. Taking out 5 mins to make a coffee isn't that significant.

- falcolas 8y ago> Taking out 5 mins to make a coffee isn't that significant. No, it's not. Just as spending $5 on a latte every day isn't that significant either (for the assumed "average tech worker").
- parthdesai 8y agoThat's $100/$200 a month depending on how many coffees you drink per day. That is 4-5 nice meals in a restaurant. It sure is significant for me.
- dsfyu404ed 8y ago$200/mo applied to a mortgage payment can be a substantial difference in neighborhood.
- falcolas 8y agoIf we stick with our "tech worker", in that month they have likely earned in excess of $12,000. Even at $200, that's around 2% of the exemplar employee's earnings. If $200 is a significant amount that you don't want to spend, that's completely fine. But it's also not that much when you look at it, even as a leisure purchase.
- parthdesai 8y agoLol, not every tech worker works in SF/NYC. I work in Toronto, make more than what an average family in Canada makes, and still am no where close to $12,000/month before tax, forget about after tax.
