    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.

        Can’t you just check your bank account?

        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 😂

          As I suspected, it was just a play on “saved” as if I didnt go spend that same money on groceries and clothing for my kids.

          edit: Actually makes me wonder if u/raindog is german or austrian. Reminds me of their sense of “humor”.
