Between rising costs of living, student-loan debt, and the too-easy doomscroll-to-checkout pipeline, of course we’re overspending more than ever.

        That’s not feasible for every person.

        This is giving “make coffee at home” vibes

          You probably mean drink less coffee. Lots of people makes their own coffee, they even grind it at home.

            Some of us buy bulk green beans, roast at home on demand, hand grind, then make pour-over and espresso with a manual press. Then make espresso based drinks and spiced coffee on occasion. Mix of overspending, diy and slow food movement.

            My coffee habits would have bankrupted me if I went to cafés. I’m not saving any money with all the doodads I bought, but my quality of life is fantastic for the price.

            BRB, going to make a cortado.
