Your wallet doesn’t know or care where the money came from.

Don’t waste your precious attention chasing nickels and dimes. Focus on the big financial questions. Let the little things slide.

No one became rich by skipping 10,000 lattes.

Are we talking Starbucks lattes? Cuz that’s about $130k in lattes….

If you skip one latte per day, it’ll take you 27 years to ā€œsaveā€ that $130k. There are a lot of better ways to earn $130k that don’t take nearly three decades.

No doubt, I’d still rather make coffee or lattes at home, your still coming out ahead, especially putting that $13/day into some sats.

Sometimes, It’s not how much you make, it’s what you do with it.

Whenever I go out and spend money on food or alcohol or anything like that it makes me feel better to eat least buy $20 worth of bitcoin at the same time.

Skipping something is passive and frees time; chasing something is active and consumes time. They aren't the same. So when you skip the latte or the cocktail or the pack of cigs, why not spend that free time focusing on your big financial goals? Kill 2 stones with 1 bird.

This reminds me of that old French dude that reportedly consumed 40+ cups of coffee a day... His focus must have been off the charts
