Comment on Large scale economics by Johno

Hi Weano,

Long time no speak.

A quick look at the numbers … paying $1 to get 2c/L discount means 50L is your break even point.
(50L x 2c/L = $1)
So anything over 50L and you’re ahead.

Well…you are already quite self-indulgent, so that makes it harder.

I like the idea of smaller, more regular rewards - like Rob’s gold class idea. If it was me, I’d probably think that I wanted to reward myself with gambling money, but then I’d end up reconsidering and take the family out somewhere.

Hey Dean,
Ben says to make sure to get all the temptation food out of your view and smell.
He suggested you work out how much it would cost you to buy teh food that you are craving, and put that money into a jar, then when it adds up to enough you can take your beautiful family away for a lovely holiday. And every time you put money in the jar, fantasise about what the holiday would be like and how special it will be with your beautiful little man. Even if you have to write it down.
Remember, you’re doing this for them, especially little Jack.
Good luck!
Amy, typing for Ben

Do any of your planes still work? Maybe go flying.

How about booking a couple of seats at a Gold Class cinema and catching up on the latest flick in style each successful week?
