5 things you could buy if you gave up coffee

That little daily coffee. Our crutch. Our daily safety net. It's only $4, right? It's nothing! But, guess what you could buy if you stopped buying a coffee every single damn (week!) day... This is what. We're going on the basis that your standard coffee is around $4 and you're buying one every day of the week. Weekends don't count in this fun lil' game.

1. If you stopped for a week

Wowzers, we're talking weekdays here but that's $20. You could buy this super sassy SASS tee from ASOS and you'd still have $2 change if you used your student discount. That's like, a tub of instant coffee that you can make at home, nearly!

2. If you stopped for a month

You'd have $80 in your pocket if we're talking $4 x 20 (week)days. Say hello to the beautiful BECCA X Chrissy Teigen limited edition glow face palette from Sephora.

3. If you stopped for 3 months

There's an extra $240 in your wallet if you gave up the daily coffee for three whole months. You could pay for a two night stay at this killer Sydney Airbnb loft apartment for two people for $239. Weekend away or awesome house party? Hello.

4. If you stopped for 6 months

$480!!! Almost $500 in your pocket without your daily caffeine hit. For this you could completely kit out a new room for your apartment from IKEA. We're talking sofa, three cute cushions, decorations, candles, storage, mirrors, a desk and an office chair. Plus you'll have loads of change for those Swedish snacks. Yep.

5. If you stopped for a whole year!

$960. We're not even kidding. If you 'just' bought a coffee every day of the working week for a whole year you would spend almost a thousand dollars worth of coffee. You ok hun? Just think about how much cash that is! You could do a Spiritual India trip with Gecko's Adventures and still have change to spare.

Now, this model doesn't just apply for coffee, it can obviously apply to whatever your vice is. Glossy magazines, glasses of wine, beers, cigarettes, clothes that you never wear. Anything! If there's something that you think you waste your money on, why not try cutting it out and see how much you can save. Actually put the money in a separate account or wallet for the amount of time that you're giving it up and you'll be able to physically see how much you're saving!
