I can remember a time not long ago when refraining from frequent coffee purchases definitely helped, but mostly for opportune leisure spending in other instances. That's when I was barely breaking even as a student. The budgeting habit stayed with me. I do like to buy my coffee out regularly enough but I'm conscious of what I spend. It's not always about fighting financial difficulties though. I know some very well-off people who wouldn't spend on anything other than instant coffee at home. Choose your vice/luxury, basically.
