A couple of years ago, I was working way too much and I lost the habit of eating lunch. It turns out I don’t miss it that much. I just dont eat a meal, sometimes maybe a handful of chickpeas or something if I feel like I need the energy. I lost about 45 lbs through this somewhat accidental intermittent fasting.
I have to wonder how much money I have saved by skipping one meal a day for years.
Can’t you just check your bank account?
Okay, I’ll bite. How would that work? My bank account is just a string of numbers. It doesnt have a way to tell me how much I didnt spend on 3 years of hypothetical lunches. I buy all my groceries for our meals all at once, not through separate accounts for breakfast, “what would have been lunch,” and supper.

The difference is you haven’t stopped buying cars after doing so your entire adult life. Because in that case the statement that you’ve saved money by changing your habits would absolutely be justified.

I have “saved” a lot of money over the years … yet my bank account doesn’t reflect that.
What the hell was the point of your original question 😂
