Little things count in life and you better believe they do when it comes to money and diet.
This article written by Dr. Dave Krueger is a powerful call to commit to making small decisions everyday that count. 
How Two French Fries Weigh 40 Pounds
- Putting on 40 pounds over 10 years means gaining an average of four pounds per year.
- 40 pounds divided by 10 years equals 4 pounds per year. Four pounds divided by 12 months equals .33 (1/3) of a pound per month
- This is approximately 1/100th of a pound per day (1/3 pound divided by 30 days).
- One pound of stored fat represents 3500 calories.
- 3500 times 1/100 equals 35
- To achieve the feat of gaining 40 pounds in 10 years, all you have to do is consume
- an extra 35 calories every day.
- 35 calories = two regular French fries
Little things count.
Millionaire Insurance by Age 30
- Investing $1.50 per day beginning at age 20 – based on the stock market average growth since 1926 – by age 65 will be worth $1 million. Wait until age 21 instead of 20: the difference is $109,000.
- Investing $2,000 per year in an IRA beginning at age 18, then stopping all investment by age 30, by age 65 will be worth $1 million.
Little things count.
Are French fries and tucking away a buck fifty a day advanced behavioral economics? Applied neuroeconomics? Not hardly. Just a simple choice to have a plan and stick to it in order to develop a habit that moves you toward your goals.
A commitment is a decision you only have to make once. Choice architecture creates a system to make a good choice automatic.
