The Hidden Cost of Not Saving (and How to Fix It)
Learn how small daily expenses add up, the true cost of delaying savings, and simple steps to start building momentum toward your goals today.
We’ve all heard it before: “I’ll start saving next month.” But here’s the catch — delaying savings comes with a cost, and it’s bigger than you think.
Small Expenses Add Up Fast
$5 coffee three times a week = $780 a year
$15 streaming service you barely use = $180 a year
$20 takeout once a week = $1,040 a year
That’s nearly $2,000 a year slipping through your fingers — money that could go toward travel, debt payoff, or building a safety net.
Opportunity Cost Hurts More
It’s not just the money you’re spending — it’s the growth you’re missing out on. If that $2,000 was saved in an account with a modest APY, you’d earn even more over time. And the earlier you start, the bigger the impact.
How to Fix It
Start small — even $5 a day adds up.
Automate your savings so you don’t have to think about it.
Use tools that make progress visible and rewarding (that’s where StackIt comes in).
