Some of our little daily habits can become a much bigger burden when viewed on a monthly or yearly basis.
The bad ones habits are the ones that cost us in money and health. An example? The smoke. But a passion for cigarettes is not the only daily habit that costs us a lot of money.
Usually it is about small expenses, which, however, repeated every day or almost, they lead to an economic expenditure that then weighs like a boulder at the end of the month or year. It is a matter of personal choices, linked to one’s interests and income.
Today, we want to do some accounts with you about one of the habits that Italians love most: breakfast at the bar. Do you know how much money is spent on average per year for croissants and cappuccinos?
The real question is this: does it weigh more on us to spend a large annual sum at the bar or to wake up thirty minutes earlier each day? Well, the answer is neither simple nor obvious because the question is to have breakfast at home.

How to save 2000 euros by having breakfast at home
Having breakfast at home would save us on average 5 euros per day, which multiplied by 365 is almost 2.000 euro. Let’s face it: it’s a very respectable sum. It could bring us a beach holiday, a trip abroad, the advance for the new car we so desire.
However, the council has a double implication. Prepare breakfast at home means the having to wake up earlier in the morning or prepare everything you need the night before. Our nutritionists would also agree: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It must therefore be studied well and prepared with care.
Cappuccino and croissant does not seem to be the best choice: at home we have fruits and proteins to cook. Sure, breakfast at the bar is also a moment of socializing, leisure and a good start to the day. However, that’s a lot of money saved.
Certainly, with the habits of many workers changed in this 2020 that has just ended, many will have noticed that among the positive effects of smartworking there is also the saving of the daily shopping for coffee or breakfast at the bar.
In short, we have done the count, now it is up to you to decide whether to enjoy your beloved breakfast at the bar every day or decide to set aside that nest egg for other expenses.
