I am an avid coffee drinker.
Two cups a day is my minimum. On particularly strenuous days, e.g., when I am having a marathon 3 hour Fun Run session, I might even take three.
Because I am your typical Singaporean Ah Pek, I drink the kopi siu dai type of coffee. I mean, Starbucks is good, occasionally. However, for my daily coffee fix, it needs to be that eluted mixture of coffee beans sinfully roasted with butter, and dosed with a splash of condensed milk.You could say, I am the reverse coffee snob.
A cup of coffee costs around $1.30 - 2.00 now, depending on where you get it from. Ya Kun and Fun Toast are starting to get too pricey for me. Time was when you could get a nice hot cuppa for 1.00 - 1.20. What is progress without crazy inflation right?
Hence, you can imagine how glad I am to have now secured a lifetime supply of coffee.
No, i did not suddenly strike TOTO, or get a sponsorship from a coffee brand. Although I would welcome both with open arms.
Truth is, my salary came in today. Which is always a joyful event. I had a reasonably sweet adjustment to my salary for the current financial year. Moreover, my pay was a bit more substantial than usual because of the additional paid weekends I worked in June.
Without even a second thought, I had farmed the entire amount into my investment account. Based on a modest 6% annual yield, my earned salary this month would provide me with a passive income stream of around $110 a month.
At $2 a cup of coffee, this month's capital injection alone would pay for 55 cups of coffee a month for the rest of my life.
Looks like my caffeine addiction is not going to go away any time soon.
