Lunch Savings Calculator

As I sit here eating my cheap "brown bag" lunch here as always at work, I thought I would calculate the small forture I have amassed by eating like this (besides the fact that I get extra time to program and surf the Net!) My default investment return is a reasonable 5.0% (although you can try 10.5%, the 70 year average for the S&P 500). I will even let you increase the return up to 50% for fun.

Have fun!
