Reader:
I used to buy a Mocha Frap every day at work. About a year ago, after reading your blog, I challenged myself to stop.
For each day I didn't buy a Mocha Frap, I put aside $10.
I am pleased to report I have managed to put aside more than $2,000 so far.
The secret is in your blog.
I got myself a mug and I will earn more than $32,000 with my mug in 16 years!
If AK can do it, I can do better!
-----------------------
I was making a cup of hot Milo in the office pantry like I sometimes do and the sight of my mug suddenly gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
No, it was not from the hot water or the steam.
Nice?
Got a bit chipped over the years but still nice.
I bought this not long after I started work.
I needed a mug to use for my tea breaks.
It must have been 15 or 16 years ago by now.
How much money have I saved in those years by not buying coffee or tea or Milo from the coffee shop (or from Starbucks) on work days?
Conservatively, $288 x 2 x 16 years?
$9,216?
Not bad.
Gives a new flavour to the phrase "old is gold".
OK, who threw something at me?
Who? Who?
