"Maybe you could afford a home if you stopped buying all those coffees out!!!"

Like everyone else, I always laugh when the older generation say things like this to us. However...

Because I'm dull I decided to do a quick calculation on how much making coffee at home has actually saved me.

I bought a good machine / grinder in 2022 and I've had ~90% of my coffees at home since then (2 cups a day on weekdays, 1 cup / day at weekend)

Please don't take this too seriously, some of us will look at this and say its worth drinking out. Others will look at it and say that's a good saving to have.

For simplicity, I only did Americanos. I drink these mostly but I think more savings would exist because of how much extra cafes charge for milk compared to the cost of it to buy yourself. I also used current-day prices for everything and not the cheaper 2022-2025 prices which would make this higher still!

Personally I really like making coffee, so I don't care either way. But €6.5k-8k is a good chunk!

Enough to buy a house? No. Enjoy your coffees out.

To keep it brief, this team member is below me and I spend many hours a week as essentially their IT guy, despite that not being my role whatsoever. I do it so that she can simply continue to work and not hold the rest of my team up.

Its a grey zone I feel because its kind of not my business to care, and the promotion has already been made so in a way there is no point in me saying anything. But I feel like I have to tell my manager the trust is being lost because of this. I actually feel so strongly that I would leave over this if the job market were better.

I've decided at a minimum I will stop helping them as much, and treat them as I would expect someone of their new level to act.

What would you do? Is it worth having a small vent even though the outcome will not change?

Considering a career change at 30, its a field which always fascinates me. Whats its like working as a physio in ireland these days?

Since reddit is mostly anonymous I'd be curious to hear anyone's recent trade in prices vs what they're worth on donedeal?

Got a few offers so far and obviously am annoyed but I know its a dealers job to lowball me haha

For me, market value 15k, was offered 7k
