For example:
Myth: Cutting out little things won't make a difference.
Reality: It all adds up. For example, if you cut out just a $4 cup of coffee every day for a year and saved that money instead, after 10 years with a 5% return on investment, you'd have over $18,700. Use our Small Change, Big Savings tool to learn how cutting back a little can save you thousands of dollars.
