What Is the Latte Factor?

The Latte Factor is a concept popularized by David Bach in ‘The Automatic Millionaire.’ Small daily expenses like coffee, cigarettes, or eating out add up to enormous sums over the years. Even $6/day becomes over $600,000 in 30 years at a 10% return in the S&P 500.

Why Small Expenses Matter So Much

$6 on coffee every day is $180/month — $2,160/year. Over 30 years with a 10% return, that grows to over $400,000. The key is being aware of the true long-term cost of each daily habit.

How to Start Saving Today

Set up an automatic transfer to an IRA, 401(k), or brokerage account. The ‘Pay Yourself First’ principle says that if you save before spending, you won’t miss the money. Start with even $5/day — it makes a massive difference over decades.
