I was spending $1000 a year for parking and probably another $2500 on breakfast/lunch before I changed jobs. I'd pay it again because they were quality of life things, but that nickel and dime shit is easy to ignore. I had a good run of meal prepping before the kid was born and my math worked out to about $6/meal when it's homemade (note I was also cooking paleo so no cheap fillers). We eat home cooked dinners roughly five nights a week, which is a nice benefit of my wife staying home.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
