I started tracking every single coffee purchase in a notebook for a month, and the total was $127.

Seeing that number in my own handwriting made me switch to making it at home, and now I'm putting that cash straight into my car repair fund instead. Anyone else have a small daily habit they cut that added up fast?

Actually, that was my total for just two weeks, which was way worse.

Seeing that total in your own handwriting really does hit different. I did the same thing with lunch delivery.

Remembered my old coffee shop receipts from last year, the ones I kept in the glove box. Pulled them all out one day and added them up on a napkin. Nearly fell over when I saw I'd spent like eighty bucks in a month on plain black coffee. Something about your own messy numbers makes it feel real, not just another card swipe.
