The people who try to sell the message that you can make a fortune by denying yourself basic luxuries invariably: 1. Didn't do it for themselves 2. Really just use it as an excuse to lower social support spending anyway

Yeah, sure, but a more basic point - in the absence of the coffee, I won't *have* a financial future. People pay me to get things DONE. That means I need occasional breaks and stimulants.

True, but if a hospital is any guide you can fuel just as easily with Nescafe blend 43 as with something that doesn't taste like the burnt leavings of a diseased sea lion

I did an annual budget & literally the only thing I could realistically change about my lifestyle to save money is my food & drink expenses. It's the only cost that isn't fixed - unlike rent, shoes, electricity, water. Travel is the other one. But you need holidays to stay sane!

You can kind of shift around within brackets - buy cheaper shoes for example - but yeh that's exactly it! Saving money on a small fraction of your total budget doesn't magically create wealth, it just makes you marginally richer at the expense of your enjoyment
