That would be two thousand $5 purchases.
At two purchases per day, that’s about 2 years, 9 months.
At one purchase a day, that’s about 5 years 6 months.
At two purchases per week, that’s about 19 years 3 months.
At one purchase for week, that’s about 38 years, 5 months.
Sandwiches are about $5. I eat a lotta sandwiches.
Who’s your sandwich guy?

Thats a shockingly short period of time. Assuming two why not purchases a week, the average person spends $40,500 in their 78year lifespan.
The two a day spenders total out to $283,600.
Okay, and did those 2000 purchases bring you cumulatively more joy than a single $10,000 purchase?
Almost certainly.

Gacha gaming be like:
My problem is falling for the “oh, the next model up has x feature for only £x more” ploy.
Before I know it, I’m at like double my initial price point .
This is so intentional by the people setting the prices as well. I know that’s obvious to some, but I still think it’s worth highlighting.
