Why the yearly number hits

We judge spending one purchase at a time, so €3.50 feels like nothing. But a habit lives at a different scale — per year, per decade. Two coffees a day is nearly €2,900 a year, and far more if that money were compounding instead.

This isn't a lecture about quitting. It's the number, in plain sight, so you can choose what's worth it — keep it, cap it, or redirect it.
