Did you know a pack of cigarette a day would cost you a $3,276 a year? Or did you know a big mac a day could take $1,800 a year from your wallet?
Fascinating facts about purchasing behavior is that it is closely tied with our daily lives. perhaps saving your money could contributes to healthier life. For instance, by skip buying a case of beer per week could save you $1,440 a year and decide to walk instead f using car could save up to $1,615 per year!
While it is easy to estimate the number you could save, actually saving the money can be very challenging. For instance, how can you get to work without the car if you work far from home? Sure, if you can give a daily Starbucks latte, you could save $960, but don't you believe you deserve a cap of Starbuck a day if you work hard?
Individual behavior is hard to manage. Even one knows how to build a healthier behavior if one cannot actually afford to do it, it would be useless... But is that the government or health sector's responsibility to protect individual?
The government brought up implementing 'fat tax' for every purchase that considered as unhealthy, but what about people's autonomy?
After all, it is individual's own body that we are talking about.
