Brown Bagging Saves Big Bucks
What Would You Do With an Extra $60,000?
(firmenpresse) - INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/13 -- Think that joining your buddies for lunch won't break the bank? Think again. If you go out for lunch four days a week, over the course of a 40-year working life, you've eaten away nearly $60,000!*
As part of BMO Harris Bank's commitment to "Making Money Make Sense," here are several reasons to bring your lunch to work:
. Packing your own lunch gives you complete command over exactly what you eat and how much you eat. Think portion control.
A typical sit-down lunch at a restaurant can run you anywhere from $8 - $15. Add tax and tip on top of that, and you could be spending as much as $350 PER MONTH on lunch.
. Since everyone shares the employee lunchroom, eating your lunch there (and not at your desk) may provide you the opportunity to have conversations with others whom you may not typically interact.
. Leftovers aren't just for dinner. The next time you make one of your favorite meals, prepare at least one extra, smaller, portion to take to work. Pasta typically heats up easily.
. You aren't wasting precious minutes getting to your lunch destination, standing in line, or waiting for your order to be prepared.
Can't see yourself going cold turkey and bringing your lunch every day? Then start out small. Even bringing it to the office twice a week will help build your savings.
"Trimming in small places can add up to big savings in the long run," said Tim Massey, Indiana President, BMO Harris Bank. "You'll be amazed how steps like brown bagging it will move you toward major financial goals such as retirement or college for your children."
