This calculator is designed to demonstrate how much you can save by bringing your lunch to work AKA brown bagging instead of eating. Also, it can show how much you can increase this savings by investing it. First provide the average cost of a meal brought from home and the average dollar amount you tend to spend on lunch. Finish up by entering an interest rate you could obtain by placing your accrued savings in a savings account. Frugality is a lifestyle. Making conscientious choices now in order to protect your future represents a disciplined approach, paving the path to a comfortable retirement.
