Stop Smoking and Save Calculator
After doing my "cheap lunch" calculator, Bob Farrell suggested a "stop smoking"
calculator. This sounded like a good idea, even though I realized as a
non-smoker that I had no idea how much cigarettes cost these days. Luckily
Bob told me a pack costs about $2.50 where he lives (Richmond, VA), but they
can be a lot more elsewhere.
My default investment return is 10.5% (the 70 year average for the S&P 500).
I won't even mention the 20+% returns of late, but I will let you increase the
return up to 50% for fun.
Have fun!
Yield must be between 4 and 50 % with default of 10.5%
