Stop Pop Culture

*another week, more signs of a recession, a worsening economy and TERRIBLE SPENDING HABITS! Let’s continue with some more things people can stop buying

*I would have this sign at my business ALL THE TIME

LET’S DO LUNCH

Let’s do lunch! No, let’s not do lunch today. In fact, maybe we shouldn’t do lunch at all this week and only do it twice a month or something along those lines. Think about how often you mosey on over to the local Subway for lunch 3 days a week, which is to say better than millions of other Americans who go out to lunch every day. And, let’s say for the sake of the argument, lunch comes out to $8 a day, and I’m being super nice here:

3 X 8 = 24 X 4 = $96/month

12 months X $96 = $1152/year

Now, at this price, you’re at about $100 a month just on lunch 3 times a week. However, let’s be honest here: you spend a lot more than $24 a week going out to lunch. Multiply it and see that it comes out to more money than you need to be spending on something you don’t really need to spend it on.

*the rice krispy treat looks REALLY good even though it’s a drawing, doesn’t it?

NON-FAT MOCHA LATTE W/SOY MILK, PLEASE

Yep, this one’s got to go so all you 9-5ers, yuppies, lawyers, servicemen, writers, artists, bums, soccer moms and coffee addicts across the world are going to have to figure out a cheaper alternative and please don’t go skipping over to Micky D’s for their “wonderful” $2 ice coffee because, for real coffee lovers, that stuff absolutely, positively, 100% sucks. But what’s it costing you getting that specialty drink at your local coffee joint 5 days a week? Well, let’s run it down, shall we?

5 X 3.50 = 17.5 X 4 = $70/month

12 months  X $70 = $840/year

However, what if you bought a coffee pot to work, set up shop and got a pound of ground coffee from your favorite joint? MUCH CHEAPER!

*this picture implies something naughty so P put it up although I can’t friggin’ figure out what it is

CHECK OUT MY UNLIMITED PHONE PLAN

Yeah, I know you think you’re cool and everything with you’re super-powered unlimited phone plan but, honestly, you can take that plan and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Because many people who have these plans aren’t hard working people who actually need them, I had to pick this because too many morons have chosen to scoop these plans up left and right. Unlimited calling plans (nights, weekends, roaming, long distance, texting, internet, etc.) give you everything but, seriously, folks, how much damn time on the thing do you need? Here’s a little run down:

100 x 12 months = $1200/year

I bet, with a little research and hard work, you can cut that baby in half if you really wanted to. If you don’t and you’re bickering about money, someone needs to smack the ever loving crap out of you.

DUDE, THE GAME’S ON TONIGHT! CALL DOMINO’S!

This is for all you dudes who order pizza more than once a week which is over a million of you to say the least. Hard to beat a perfectly baked, beautifully designed pizza pie on game night when the boys are over and you’re hosting. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if anyone’s over, calling for pizza is easy, fun and GOOD. But it cost you an arm and leg and maybe even your ass too. 

I looked around and came to a rough estimate of $12.50 for a large one-topping pizza:

12.5 X 2 = $25 X 4 = $100

$100 x 12 months = $1200 

All of this adds up over the year no matter how little you may think it comes out to be. Many of you dolts probably have all three making you a cool triple threat but a cool triple threat with empty pockets and that ain’t cool, my friends. That ain’t cool.
