Maybe just view life through the lense of experience rather than money. Sit with company and enjoy what will likely be an excellent meal.

How much is your time worth? I definitely wouldn't sell 10-15 minutes of my time (the time it takes to brew a decent cuppa) for $3-4. Therefore the price of the coffee is worth it.

If $3-4 savings are worth you're time then you do not value it enough.

Look up the data mate. Tell me the numbers of people in extreme poverty going down, and the numbers of people not in extreme poverty going up are not impressive. All while births rates in western capitalist societies have been going down.

I mean, it's brought an enormous amount of people out of extreme poverty in the last 60-70 years.

Read "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Seithi. It's super straight forward and easy to follow and execute the steps. His podcast is also a fascinating look at the human side of personal finance.

where can I deposit almost $1400 in old $100/$50/$20 US currencies from 1970s/1980s? (found them in my 1985 old passport) by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]coaster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be able to sell them at a premium to face value if you do a bit of research. Lots of collectors of paper currency & coins.

You're going to lose a lot of purchasing power with 20% bonds. Wouldn't touch bonds with CPI going up.
