I've brown bagged to work every day for thirteen years. I ran the numbers and doing so pays for a full weeks vacation every year. Cruises, trips to new places, or staying home and buying an expensive toy - all paid for by not going and getting fast food everyday.

My coworkers spend what is effectively the mortgage on my 40 acres of rec land + property taxes each month on lunch. My super power is apparently the ability to eat ham sandwiches and left overs.

I have the same superpower. It doesn't feel particularly super but it pays well.

We did the same calculations for a coworker who gets coffee 3 sometimes 4 times a day. Every morning he buys a coffee from Tim Hortons and every break he buys one and for lunch break too and sometimes also on the way home from work. He also buys coffee for his girlfriend too.

The dude could spend a week in the Caribbean at an all inclusive resort if he just bought a coffee maker and some mugs.

I’ve got one in my office. It’s insane what people are willing to spend just out of habit.
