Stuck in the weeds over tracking every single coffee purchase for 3 months before realizing I was overcomplicating it

I spent 12 weeks manually logging every $4.50 latte into a spreadsheet trying to prove I was spending too much on coffee, but a friend pointed out I could just set a weekly cash limit of $20 and call it done, so which side are you on do you need detailed tracking or a simple cap to win at budgeting?

Wait, 12 weeks? That's insane, you could have had 12 weeks of just buying coffee.

Think of it as an investment though. 12 weeks of learning is a skill you keep. Coffee just turns into pee.

Plus side is now you've got killer spreadsheet skills and a coffee habit.
