We all know that coffee drinks from stands and cafes are expensive, and those expenses can add up at the end of the month. For example, if a person were to spend $5 on a coffee on all the weekdays, at the end of the month that number would be in the range of $100, at the end of the year, $1200, and when looking at a number like that, even on a median household income of $66,000 per year, that’s a little less than 2% of total income, and 4% if you have a spouse that drinks the same amount of coffee! When thinking about it this way, it’s a little ridiculous to imagine that 4% of a household income can be devoted to coffee. Instead of purchasing all those expensive coffee drinks, buy an espresso machine for the home and purchase your own espresso coffee beans, creamer, and other flavored ingredients.
Doing this can save a lot of money throughout the year, as the ingredients for coffee cost far less than purchasing the finished product at a coffee stand or café. Next time you’re thinking about purchasing that coffee drinks, avoid it, and purchase an espresso machine instead, and enjoy delicious coffee at home while saving money!
