A Day In The Life of my Supposedly Frugal Stomach

06/05/2018 Mark Jacobsen Leave a comment

Another good post by Mr Money Mustache. Probably the biggest thing that jumped out at me was this…

A cost difference of just $1.50 per person per meal, multiplied over a four-person family’s 372 meals per month makes a difference of $558 per month, or about $96,000 per decade after compounding.

Which, even if you don’t compound is around $65,000 in a decade.
