I'm with you on the coffee and inexpensive cars. I get a perfectly good cup of coffee at McDonald's for a buck. A block away in Safeway people are paying like $4.50 for a cup of coffee. People won't delay gratification and are not educated about what these unnecessary extravagances can and do add up to 30 years later. Driving a used Toyota instead of a BMW and getting a regular coffee instead of a latte is not great hardship IMO. I wonder how many people who called me cheap are old with no money right about now. Let's see. Say they saved $10 a week on coffee for 30 years. That's 5.20 x 30= 15,600. Put in every month is a stock ETF it it could be 75-120K. And that's just coffee...
