This article on Yahoo Finance makes it clear that those seemingly small daily or weekly expenses really do add up. Granted, few people are earning 8% these days, but the shock factor of these numbers is justified. Even if you only earn 4%, you can save a ton of money investing that $25 you use to eat out every week.

What little extras have you cut out this year?
