		<description>Your post inspired me to write about small sacrifices adding up for a gym membership, which is something that I believe pretty strongly in.  It&#039;s at http://trihardist.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-worth-it.html if you&#039;d like to read it.

I relate to rstlne; I don&#039;t drink coffee, I don&#039;t smoke, and I&#039;ve scaled back my weekend bar excursions significantly (partly because there were a couple nights I spent $20 on alcohol while out with friends, but also partly because I wake up so early that I don&#039;t have the energy).  But I think that my training as an athlete has made it easier for me to avoid those small-but-big-cost behaviors.  I&#039;m used to putting myself in moderately uncomfortable positions in the interest of a big pay-off in the future; that&#039;s a lot of what training is about.  So I see my training as very related to my financial well-being.</description>

		<description>I never understood the tradeoff because I didn&#039;t need the daily latte. There&#039;s free coffee at work. Not the best coffee but coffee nevertheless.</description>

		<description>Thats it.  For 50k in a 18 years, I can live without coffee.  When you put it like that, the decision sounds easy.  Or maybe I&#039;ll shoot for 40k and do 1 coffee a week...</description>
