Choosing Quality Over Quantity

There are so many reasons why buying wholesale Kona coffee makes sense in this day and age.
As the economy has worsened, people are making very careful decisions about how they spend their money. Americans, who have traditionally believed that bigger is better and more is better, are starting to shift their perceptions into a more European slant. They are starting to believe that it is better to buy quality over quantity.
Americans are also starting to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life: a sunny day, a good book, a great cup of coffee.
It makes sense to save your money for the things that matter. Instead of going into debt over a bigger and better house, car, TV, etc., it makes sense to spend your money wisely. Studies have shown that while money doesn't buy happiness, there are ways to increase your happiness by how you spend your money.
Studies show that buying a big ticket item, like that new flat screen TV does not increase happiness, but that by taking that same amount of money and purchasing small indulgences: a good bottle of wine, a fine dining experience, a gourmet bag of coffee beans ... pleasure and happiness are increased.
As Americans look inward and begin appreciating the simple pleasures in life, they will become pickier about what they do spend money on. Having a great cup of coffee every morning is an easy way to indulge in a simple, affordable pleasure.
Make even the small things in your life have an element of ritual. Wake up in the morning and grind your coffee beans right before you use them. Set a kettle of water on the stove and place the beans in your inexpensive French press.
In a small saucepan, heat some milk and then pour it into a big European style coffee bowl. Sit down and savor your latte by itself or while eating breakfast and reading the paper. It is all a way to bring a small slice of pleasure into your morning.
Rather than running into the supermarket to buy an inferior blend of coffee beans, do your research and decide what tastes the best for the money. If you drink coffee every day, why not drink something you love the taste of each and every morning. Why settle for something inferior? Buy the best you can afford and savor each sip. You deserve it.
When thinking about how to spend your money, think about the hours of use you get from it. For instance, it is worth spending more on a winter coat you will wear every single day for 5 months and spending less on say, a party dress you will wear one night.
Think about how much you use something. Spend your money on things like food and drink that bring you small amounts of pleasure throughout your day and you will end up getting more enjoyment out of your life and increasing your happiness in general.About the Author:
