If you are a milk tea lover and spend 55,000 VND daily, from January 2, 2025, to August 13, 2025, you would have spent about 12.3 million VND on 224 cups of milk tea. Instead, if you invested that money in the stock market, you could have seen significant profits. Specifically, shares of Gelex Electric (GEE), which grew by 372%, could have turned your 12.3 million into nearly 58.2 million VND. Likewise, investing in Gelex (GEX), Vingroup (VIC), or Vinhomes (VHM) could yield profits from 186% to 132%. Meanwhile, SHS and SHB stocks also showed increases of 117% to 150%. Although this is a hypothetical scenario and investing always carries risks, it highlights the power of small expenses. This serves as a lesson about opportunity cost in personal finance.
