PSA: My monthly spending on coffee and snacks dropped from about $180 to under $40 after I started leaving my cards at home and only carrying a $20 bill for the week.
I realized I was just tapping my phone without thinking at the cafe near my office, but now I physically see the money leave my wallet and it makes me pause and ask if I really need that third latte.

My car's gas light came on last week and I had to walk home because my twenty bucks was already a memory of two fancy coffees and a muffin. It was a pretty clear lesson in why my system is a mess. I'm basically just trading one dumb problem for another, forgetting that emergencies exist. The walk was good, though, my wallet felt lighter but my legs sure didn't.

But what happens when you need gas or something else unexpected?

I mean yeah gas is a thing but it's not like you're gonna be stranded forever, someone will spot you a ride or you can just borrow five bucks. Feels like people blow these little setbacks way out of proportion.
