Rich and Poor

Kevin O’Leary tells people not to waste $28 a day on lunch.

He acts like a $28 lunch is a steak dinner.

Maybe let people work at home or quit breaking the dollar with moronic policies.

This kind of advice makes people want to eat the rich for lunch and it’s valid. https://t.co/YsDeDRdy3h

He is immediately scorned because, the people who are struggling complain, then produce excuses as to why they need those $28 lunches. Do the math:

If you go out to lunch at $28 a day every workday, that works out to $560 per month in lunches. What if you had brown bagged it every day instead? That could easily free up $350 per month that could be invested. In an index fund at 9% per year, that adds up.

• In 10 years, it would be worth $67,000
• 20 years, $233,000
• 30 years, $640,000
• and at 35 years, you would break a million

Or you can keep going out and spending $28 a day on lunch, $5 on a Starbucks every morning, and complaining about how you are still broke and blaming “boomers” for the fact that you can’t afford to buy a house.
