What can I learn from Mary Joy?

You may be thinking, ‘I don’t drink coffee every day’ or, ‘I don’t drink coffee at all’, how can Mary Joy’s story help me?

For Mary Joy, coffee in the morning is a ‘need’. She needs a caffeine boost to get through her busy day! I’m sure that’s the same for many of us! But buying an expensive Starbucks coffee was a ‘want’. She enjoyed the experience of visiting the store and choosing her coffee toppings, but she didn’t actually need those add-ons! 

→ By switching from coffee to kopi, Mary Joy found a way to save money on one of her everyday ‘needs’.
