They think you're weird for eating alone.

[Anonymous No.10087558]

They spend $13 a day more than me.
22 working days a month = $13 x 23 = $299 which makes $3588 a year.

Now assuming a very conservative growth of 25% a year with cryptocurrencies, I'd have $1,538,106.96 when it's time for my early retirement.
