Build a Budget From a Coffee

Create a practical personal-finance explainer for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts showing how a $6 daily coffee habit adds up over one year. Open on an extreme close-up of a steaming coffee cup, then use a smooth top-down camera move as dollar bills and number cards arrange themselves into a growing timeline. Shoot with a 50mm lens, soft window light, warm café colors, and clean motion-graphic overlays. A friendly US creator explains the difference between daily, monthly, and annual spending without shaming the viewer. Show simple USD totals, one alternative savings scenario, and a clear disclaimer that the example is educational, ending with “What would you redirect first?”
