Perhaps a way to drive this line of thinking even further is to go backward. Imagine if you won the lottery, you could stick that money in a boring fund for each item and just withdrawl enough once a month or so.
I'm seeing term deposits in Australia suck now at around 2.1% for the better ones.
Let's say that's fixed and after taxes, it's 2%.
1 small coffee ($4) 5 times a week = $33,280 (32 years)
You can withdraw $117.10 monthly. math here
After 32 years, total interest earned: $11,687.86.
Under your system you were able to spend 86.67 / month on coffee
$30.43 Extra a month or 35% more.
Or at a fixed rate of 86.67 a month you could last 50.78 years which is 58% longer.
This is why rich people do so damn well. Also, if they are celebrities, they have the added bonus of getting a ton of stuff for free.
Money begets money.
I did a couple economics classes and finance classes at uni... damn I am retarded for not starting to actually understand earlier.
I have been on Steem for 2.5 years... "don't they know who I am!!" :D
Lol. Free stuff is awesome.
I wish I started saving more earlier, too. Investing it in a bunch of different things is key
But I'm doing fine. I even have money to invest in ultra high risk crypto currencies and burn it on Steem and random steem based tokens. I guess anything that gets us thinking and engaged in investing.

I shudder to go back and do the math of all the crap I wasted opportunity on - Now I look forward.
cumulative interest for the win...
I am putting 150 a month into crypto... and will keep doing so while I can. lets see how much I end up with in 23 years (retirement age)
I have been doing the same (not monthly but when possible) and hope that it becomes something, especially with a global collapse on the horizon.
same here... I am thinking of moving my FIAT into stablecoins and move them on nexo or celsius
As long as you have a better strategy than buying whatevee is being shilled the loudest, that seems like a decent way to save 5 dollars a day!

I live in the crypto Valley here in Switzerland and am part of a group that educates people on cryptocurrencies. I try to do my due diligence but even then you are wrong sometimes.
I do not really buy ICO and do not really have enough money to get into STO pre launch so i am sticking to mostly major projects now
