SmartPath excerpt:
The $16,000 Cup of Coffee
Can saving just a little money, over time, really make a big difference? Everyday items may cost only a few dollars, but when those same dollars are put toward retirement savings and invested, they can really add up. By saving just a few extra dollars every week, you could significantly increase your retirement savings. Saving just $4 weekly, or the cost of a cup of gourmet coffee, over the course of 25 years can boost your retirement savings by $16,608. Saving these few extra dollars is easy when you think of it in these terms. Could you set aside an extra few dollars each week for the next 25 years? If so, here is some motivation to actually do it:
• Magazines, once a month, $10 a month – $120 a year – $9,574
• Buying lunch, twice a week, $10 a week – $520 a year – $41,519
• Movies, once a month, $15 a month – $180 a year – $14,360
• Gourmet coffee, once a week, $4 a week – $208 a year – $16,608
• Take out for dinner, once a week, $30 a week – $1,560 a year – $124,469
