The Latte Factor

“It's not about your latte. It's about the fact that we spend money on little things — so many little things — without ever stopping to think about what they really cost us in terms of the lives we could be living.”

“Don't budget. Budgets require willpower, and willpower is a finite resource. Automate your savings so the money goes to work before you ever see it.”

“Pay yourself first. It's the oldest financial advice in the world — and the most ignored. The miracle is in the doing, not the knowing.”

“You don't have to be rich to start investing. You have to start investing to get rich. The difference between the two sentences is your entire financial future.”

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. Those who understand it, earn it. Those who don't, pay it.”

“It's not about being cheap. It's about being intentional. You can have your latte — just know exactly what you're trading for it.”
