The original article makes sense in one way: buying expensive coffee at a coffee shop won't help you reach your financial goals. There's so many ways around this to still save money:
>buy beans and make french press coffee at home
>buy cold brew at the supermarket for cheaper than regular coffee and take it to work
>drink more black tea
>abuse work coffee privileges as often as possible
Saying you'll get $7500 in 25 years just doesn't reach people in the way he thinks it will. Also doesn't account for inflation, which was roughly 86% from 1999 to 2024.

I could see the argument for buying caffeine because it helps with your work, but I assume his original argument was essentially "too many people are fucking retards with their money out of convenience, here's what you could be doing instead."
