[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm too poor to eat out much but if I had the money I would eat out a whole lot and I would also fly private.  I still wouldn't drink coffee, I never have.

I'd say she's right as far as the average person's budget is concerned.  It amazes me how much people I know eat out or order food delivered and waste money on Starbucks coffee while they are trying to figure out how to pay the rent.[/quote]

This is exactly her point.  Whether it's coffee or dining out, you need to be aware of how much money you are spending on everything, but most importantly Extras.  If you can barely pay rent, have CC debt, or are not adequately saving for college/retirement, then these are two simple areas that are definately EXTRA that could be trimmed.  If both members of a couple get a coffee daily that's almost $200+ per person per month.  They could spend $20 and make the coffee at home and save almost $400.  Sure, treat yourself a few times per month, but if you are not Fully saving for your kid's college, then these are simple ways you can find a bit extra to direct that way.  [/quote]
