Lay off the coffee next time, or whatever you're drinking. Now, what happens if you pack your lunch for your whole life? Think of all the Apple products you could afford... :P ^ Wow, obviously.

Lay off the coffee next time, or whatever you’re drinking.

Now, what happens if you pack your lunch for your whole life? Think of all the Apple products you could afford… :P

Interestingly enough, if you work 5 days a week, this will be take 48 weeks to acomplish. More interesting, if you averaged 2 days a week, you're $800 (rough figures) iPhoney would have taken 80 days, or 40 weeks. Also interesting, that if we have 30 weeks of school each year (it's something like that), and we were to pack our lunch every day (5 days a week), and save $5.50 (the true amount saved!) that we would, over our whole school life (kinder to 12, and yes, I know we wouldn't have been buying lunch in kinder, but work with me here) save $11 550. Impessive. Actually, that's 14 years worth of lunches. That's not too bad, really. and if it was the expensive $10 lunches, (cos admit it, those pounder meals really cost that much) we would save $21 000. Even more impressive. Not to mention the amount saved on gym membership! I'm bored.
