It's just a parable

The parable of the latte
If you would take but the money you spent on an overpriced latte, and hide it under a bushel, your money would grow to provide a nest egg.
Of course it's more than a latte. It's a mindset. Nobody forced us to buy three-dollar lattes. Our midlife crisis is a great opportunity to look at the things in our lives that we need, and the things we don't need. We need a place to meet friends. Nobody said we had to meet at an expensive coffee shop. We could meet for a walk.
I think saving money is great. Giving it to the government to distribute back to us at pennies on the dollar really sucks. I don't want to be France or Germany. Those are already taken. I want to be the good USA, where government keeps the interstate highways nice and then leaves us alone.
