]]> Comment on Coffee and Cigarettes [part 1] by Sherri http://livinginvol.com/?p=6&cpage=1#comment-24 Sherri Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:16:55 +0000 http://whydidyoupostthatup.com/?p=6#comment-24 You're right- your analysis is just as oversimplified as the original. I'm nowhere near the 20% tax bracket, and if I plunk my savings into a Roth IRA then I won't pay taxes on the withdrawals. I ought to be able to live pretty nicely for 2-3 years on $83K, considering my current standard of living. Seems like a good reason to quit Starbucks to me, except that I don't go there. I don't think the original advice is a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. People are in all different kinds of financial states. And I agree that the numbers they give are less than realistic. But the idea of really looking at where your money goes is a good one. So many people mindlessly swipe the card without considering what that purchase really is costing- if you don't pay off the credit card each month, then that $5 latte costs more than $5. We nickel and dime ourselves with these "little" purchases that do add up. I'd say $1200 a year is nothing to sneeze at. It'll pay for your car that breaks down, or the new hot water heater that you'd otherwise put on the credit card. It's all a matter of getting out of the "I deserve it" mentality and onto the road to financial health. You’re right- your analysis is just as oversimplified as the original.
