1. What is the Latte Factor? ☕


Term coined by author David Bach — matlab, aise small daily expenses jo individually harmless lagte hain, but long-term me huge loss karte hain.

2. Indian Examples ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ


₹200 coffee from Starbucks (5 days/week = ₹4,000/month)


₹50 daily snacks = ₹1,500/month


₹499 OTT subscription you barely use


₹100/day cigarettes = ₹3,000/month

3. The Real Cost — Compounding ๐Ÿ“ˆ


Agar aap ₹4,000/month ko mutual funds me invest karein @12% return, 20 saal me:

₹4,000 x 12 months x 20 years → ₹29+ lakh ๐Ÿš€

4. How to Identify Your Latte Factor ๐Ÿ”


1 month ka expense tracker banao


Mark karo: “Need” vs “Want


Wants me se 20–30% cut karo

5. Redirect to Investments ๐Ÿ’ก


Jo paisa bacha usse SIP, index fund, ya side hustle me lagao.

๐Ÿ’ก Boss Tip:

Financial freedom ek badi salary se nahi, smart spending se aati hai. Latte factor ka control lena is the easiest first step.
