Thanksfor this. I had already worked out that I was wasting a fortune but this tool is excellent!
My downfall is buying junk food on the way home from work and although not every day it adds up. According to 'The Demotivator' I work 3 weeks a year for food that makes me fat and I dont really enjoy...
Another cool toy play with.. cheers Martin and team! :beer:Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 297 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts

I spend 50p a day on coffee and according to the calculator I spend over £8,000 over the course of my working life. Total crap but fun.0

Wow, I think I knew I was spending a lot on stuff I don't need or that doesn't bring anything to my life. But seeing it in black and white and all added up was quite eye-opening. I'm at least going to try and think before I spend money on 'crap' next time!0

i do this all the time but with my trusted calculator... now martin can do all the work for me... thanks
martin can you add a 'once' choice (in the how many times do you buy it) though, then people can work out how many hours they have to work to afford the new £900 tv they are about to purchase :rolleyes: dont know if it can work though

Bug - clear the results then do another one. Print it and see the previously cleared one still there (perhaps bug if only use exactly same name for item?)0

Tried it, loved it. When I saw how many weeks I have to work to pay for my bad habits it was a real eye opener.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0
