How Much Is A Cup Of Coffee?
And what can you do with it, other than drink it?
I heard once that in Italy the price of an espresso is capped at €1, that was some years ago, so inflation may have driven that price up some. Let’s say you can buy a coffee from anywhere between $2 and $5.
“Good and evil increase at compound interest. That’s why the little decisions we make every day are of infinite importance.” — C. S. Lewis
There is a theory that suggests by saving the cost of a cup of coffee per day and investing it into the stock market and compounding it over time, a reasonable portfolio can be built. Roughly calculated, $2 per day over 30 years in the S&P 500, with a ten year average growth rate of 14.5% (2011–2021) would see an end amount of $350k+, of which $22k is your capital investment.
Why Not Just Drink It?
Almost 1 billion people survive on $1.9 per day. 3.5 billion survive on less than $5.5 per day.
So what?
So $2 per day is not a lot.
Keep drinking your coffee and enjoy it, I do.
The point is, what is a small something to me is the ability to survive for another. I want it both, the ability to continue building the wealth affording me the luxury to drink my coffee and a means to help others get started.
Why can’t we create a fund that whilst it generates wealth for your $2 per day investment it also helps those who survive on $2 per day with basic income?
Oh we can.
We do.
From as little as a $10 investment you can to.
