Dear all
Today as I'm working from home, I was taking the time to brows through the news here in Zurich, Switzerland (land of the banks, smh). The first topic I see is what??? The Latte Factor of David Bach applied from a young woman who's 35, that tracked for 2 years (!) the little expenses she had having one latte a day... smh... seriously?
She kept tracking all little take away expenses and came to the conclusion that she would have saved up over 10000 swiss francs (almost equivalent to US dollar) a year. And she could have OF COURSE used it to invest the money... in you know already what way... MJ's book says it all.
Then the comments followed... and after having read 2/3 of MJ's book The Fastlane, I was very concerned of what I was reading in this comments left... Out of all of this Swiss (usually very money aware people) only 1 made the same reasoning MJ did in his book. Using the 40 years, saving up 10% etc. for what? For me not even seeing the day, because I might not be here anymore?
I'm shocked, really shocked to see how many people believe this BS over here... I'm glad I do not belong to them anymore...
Just wanted to share this as this mentality seem to be a real epidemic disease...
Wishing you all a productive day!
Kindest regards,
Chiara
