Stop Buying Expensive Coffee and Save Money Calculator

A new calculator suggested by Erika Lim from Caffeine Central (Seattle, WA). I, too, have been amazed by folks who bring in coffee from a Starbucks or convenience store every single day instead of just contributing to the local "coffee pot fund". I know office coffee may not stack up to the store bought versions, but is it really worth the long term costs? Many folks drink the equivalent of a wide screen TV every year!

My default investment return is now a reasonable 4%.

Have fun!
