5 €/Tag × 365 = 1.825 €/Jahr. Bei 7% ueber 30 Jahre: ~185.000 €. Der Punkt: Bewusstsein fuer ALLE Gewohnheitsausgaben. Die echten Spar-Hebel: Abos, Impulskaufe, Convenience.

Realitaet

Nicht den Kaffee streichen wenn er Freude macht. Die Dinge streichen die KEINE Freude machen.

David Bach, who coined the term, does not actually recommend giving up coffee. His point: track ALL small habitual spending, then consciously choose which habits are worth keeping.
