My sister said to track every single coffee purchase for a month

I always thought it was a waste of time to write down small things like that. But she made me do it, and after 30 days I saw I spent $87 just on coffee shop drinks. I started making my own cold brew at home for about $12 a month. That extra $75 is now going straight into my car repair fund. Has anyone else been shocked by how much one small habit was costing them?

Watched a buddy do this with his lunch habit, those fast food runs he swore were cheap. He tracked it and realized he was dropping over two hundred bucks a month just on burgers and fries. He started packing leftovers and put the savings toward a new guitar he'd wanted for years.

My coworker did that with coffee... bought a bike.
