Coca-coholic
February 15, 2008
One of the many profound pieces of Icelandic wisdom goes as follows: “Many small things make one big thing.”
In the office there is a Coca Cola machine where that blackest of beverages can be purchased for a mere 55 cents. That’s so easy to spend without a second thought.
Now, early this year I acquired a money managing program and have been faithfully keeping track of my expenses, no matter how small, ever since.
Now that it’s been a while and the data is slowly becoming meaningful, I can say with full confidence that I’ve spent €10.45 in that machine so far this month. That’s just silly money. That’s also more than 6 litres.
So I’ve decided to stop and switch to coffee exclusively. It’s free, and so I don’t have to enter it into the program and can therefore go back to being blissfully ignorant about my unhealthy lifestyle.
