What Your Coffee Order Says About Your Money Habits

June 17, 2025

At our firm, we love two things: helping clients build a strong financial future… and a good cup of coffee. Believe it or not, your go-to coffee order might reveal more about your money personality than you'd think!

So grab your favorite mug, and let’s decode your caffeine-fueled financial persona:

The Black Coffee Drinker

Your Money Habit: Minimalist and disciplined
You know what you want and don’t need frills to get there. You're likely a saver, a budgeter, and someone who checks their retirement account for fun. Your style is all about simplicity, consistency, and long-term thinking. You’d rather invest in index funds than fancy gadgets.

The Fancy Latte Lover (Oat milk, extra foam, caramel drizzle… you know the drill)

Your Money Habit: Treat yourself
You value experiences and small luxuries, and you believe in enjoying life now. While you may have a budget, you're not afraid to bend it for the perfect latte. You’re likely to be generous, spontaneous, and someone who needs a little help saying no to Amazon.

The Iced Coffee All Year Round Type

Your Money Habit: Cool under pressure
You march to the beat of your own drum. You're independent, confident, and maybe a little impulsive with spending (especially during a good sale). You're the type who keeps Venmoing friends even after you promised yourself you'd cut back on socializing this month.

The Espresso Shot Enthusiast

Your Money Habit: Fast, focused, and sometimes too intense
You're a go-getter with a hustle mindset. You have three savings accounts, two side gigs, and probably a spreadsheet titled “Q3 Financial Goals.” You're on the fast track to your dreams but might need to be reminded to slow down and smell the coffee… literally.

The Decaf Drinker

Your Money Habit: Calm and cautious
You like things low-risk, low-stress, and highly intentional. You’ve probably done your estate planning already (gold star!). You prefer peace of mind over chasing trends and always think twice before making a big financial decision. Steady as they come.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte Devotee

Your Money Habit: Seasonal spender with a soft spot for nostalgia
You’re sentimental, love traditions, and aren’t afraid to spend a little extra when something feels “right.” You likely enjoy planning holidays, gifting generously, and supporting your favorite local businesses. Your money mindset is tied to emotion- and that’s not a bad thing!

The DIY Brew-at-Home Champion

Your Money Habit: Practical and money-smart
You know the cost of a daily coffee shop habit- and you’re proud of your clever hacks. You’re probably a big fan of automatic savings transfers, loyalty rewards, and that one cash-back app you swear by. You’re the friend everyone turns to for budgeting advice.

Whether you’re a foam-loving free spirit or a black coffee budgeter, your habits- like your coffee- are uniquely yours. And just like a great cup of joe, financial wellness is all about balance, consistency, and knowing what works best for you.
