Cafe Latte

We all want it. Hot, dripping, tantalizing, crave seeker, cup of coffee. Each person has his or her favorite size and flavor. Let's face it Starbucks has made a killing off the coffee industry.


I'm a simple girl. Give me a cup of Folgers at home and make it how I like. I have tried the coffee shops, but I can't get past the broad selection and price. At times I wonder if some people have to take out a loan to purchase a grande and slice of cake.


Have you ever wondered how much money you could save if you stop purchasing a cup of latte and slice of cake daily. Take a look...$10 daily can get you out of $8000 credit card debt in 3 years. Let's not talk about an emergency fund and retirement management.

When you look at Starbucks in that perspective you are literally sipping down your future every time you sip a cup of latte.



We all have our vices including myself. That's why I can personally relate to you when it comes to giving up something you like. I recently cut out the luxuries in my life. I figured our family is truly blessed to afford bottle water and a water cooler. This sounds crazy, but I began to think about other countries and how water is a commodity.

Why should I only use tap water to bath? At the end of the day the money spend is now contributing toward the household's emergency fund.
Now, that's something to sip on!!!
