Decreasing your spending has been one of my main focuses in […]
Every time I see a person on the street drinking an overpriced ‘to-go coffee’, I am looking at what could have been a millionaire. Over time those daily coffees will amount to lots of money, but that is not everything. Every dollar spent on a ‘to go coffee’ is a dollar that can not be […]
