I'm a full-time freelancer, and I spend quite a lot on traveling now that I can work from anywhere. It certainly costs a lot of money, but for the past 8 years I've been doing this, I never felt it as a waste of money. Those $5 coffees not only have helped me relax, recharge my gadgets and use their wifi, but also to get my work done. Not working at all vs paying for a coffee to earn some money is an easy decision to make. On hindsight, though, money I've spent on cloths and jewelery, or super fine wine and alcohol, or high end restaurants feel like a massive waste of money.

> On hindsight, though, money I've spent on cloths and jewelery, or super fine wine and alcohol, or high end restaurants feel like a massive waste of money. You can get designer brand clothes from department stores like TGMaxx pretty cheap. And if you look around enough you can find new stuff that fits you very well. Super fine wine and alcohol is pretty much the same as cheap wine and alcohol. High end restaurants are a connection mechanism for rich people. So unless you are networking there, there is no reason to go to one.
