My sister said my 'fun money' category was a joke because I was spending $40 a week on coffee and calling it a win.

I switched to making it at home with a $15 French press and now that $160 a month goes straight into my car repair fund instead.

That's the real win right there. It's not about giving stuff up, it's about moving money to something you actually care about. The car repair fund is way better than a paper cup.

Wait, $40 a WEEK on coffee? That's a whole car payment!

Ever read that thing about how small money leaks sink big budgets? Your coffee switch is the perfect fix. It's not just the $160 a month, it's the habit change. That same move works for eating out or app subscriptions. You plug one leak and suddenly you're actually sailing toward your goal.

French press is a game changer. That money adds up fast when you stop the daily shop run.
