1 Cup of Milk Tea a Day: The Cost of Missing the Chance to ‘Swim’ with Billionaires Pham Nhat Vuong and Bau Hien

If you are someone who regularly indulges in milk tea at an average cost of 55,000 VND per cup, over 224 working days, you would spend over 12.3 million VND. However, if instead of spending this money on milk tea, you invested it in the stock market, your returns could be substantial. For instance, investing in Gelex Electric (GEE) with a 372% increase would turn your 12.3 million VND into nearly 58.2 million VND. Or, investing in Gelex (GEX) could yield around 36.9 million VND with a 200% increase. Vingroup (VIC) and Vinhomes (VHM) also offer returns of 186% and 132% respectively. Though this scenario is hypothetical, it underscores the importance of making wise spending decisions and understanding the opportunity cost in personal finance.
