While I agree that there's a macroeconomic component to everything and it's a bit disingenuous to Ayn-Rand-blame people 100% for their own economic situation, I also don't think you have to be a new genetic race of super-human to be able to focus on the big things AND the little things? Maybe in that order? The oppositional stance is just theater. Also if this formulation is true: If you can't afford a coffee you've got bigger problems. ..then this is also true: If you've got bigger problems, you can't afford a coffee. Bigger problems might include having an 18% interest credit card. That needs to be treated as an emergency, as someone said, probably Mr. Money Mustache.
