The Latte Factor Calculator: How Small Daily Expenses Impact Your Wealth
Is Your Coffee Costing You a Fortune?
The “Latte Factor” is a term coined by financial author David Bach. It suggests that if you simply saved and invested the small amount of money you spend on daily indulgences—like a $5 latte—you could accumulate significant wealth over time. The Ahoxy Latte Factor Calculator is designed to quantify this “lost opportunity” and help you find the extra money in your budget that you didn’t know you had.
Why Small Amounts Matter:
It’s not about depriving yourself of joy; it’s about mindful spending.
- The Accumulation: $5 a day is $150 a month or $1,825 a year.
- The Compound Magic: If that $1,825 were invested annually at a 7% return, in 30 years it would grow to nearly $175,000. That’s the true “cost” of the daily latte.
- Psychological Shift: Once you realize that a small adjustment today leads to massive freedom tomorrow, saving becomes exciting rather than a chore.
Common “Latte Factors”:
- Premium coffee drinks
- Bottled water or soda daily
- Streaming services you rarely watch
- Frequent “convenience” meals or delivery fees
