A small but constant leak can be the source of great losses in many areas of life. Something as simple as a loose oil plug in a car can allow all the oil to leak out, destroying the engine.

Little expenses that we do not consider can sink our financial ship. We just do not think about spending around $5 a day for coffee or some other refreshment—but in a month that can add up to $150 and in a year $1,800. Counting taxes and other things, we need to earn something close to $2,700 per year in order to spend that $1,800. All for the sake of a $5 coffee.

Check your pocketbook—does it have a little leak? Plug the leak and it will become heavier. Those who do not respect a penny do not deserve to have a dollar.
