Remember, you would only be allowed one of these choices.

Food

Food. Just say 50 years, 12 months a year = 600 months. 600×300=$180,000. No brainer which one is more valuable.

T-Rex266 · Aug 3, 2015

Hmm...I spend about $60/wk on fuel (mid grade from Shell)
60x4= 240
We spend $170-200 a week or so on groceries.

Being 54, 50 years of the food is not as valuable to me. For some reason or other lol.

The travel and I would use the shat out of it constantly. Only 2 hours to Cozumel.

I'm 59 and would still opt for food. Traveled enough overseas. Rather drive. Rather have my truck than the Mercedes. Need gas. Need food more. $300 food bill offset for life leaves plenty$ for gas.

After further thinking, I'd go for the food as well. The free gas is pretty close tho

Free gas for 20 years, I'd easily spend over $400 a month on gas

I drive 6 miles round trip to work. Put 50 to 100 miles on weekend. Say approx 130 miles per week at 10 mpg city=13 gallons=$36 per week=$146 per month= Food option for me. heh heh

First choice with logical thinking is food. Im going to calculate it out like others have done.

Travel: I get 3 weeks vacation so that is maybe 3-6 flights that i would be able to use without taking days off without pay. Flights are 300-1200 dollars in the US, 1200-4000 international or so. Best case all international at worst case prices = $24,000
Gas: ~$70 every week and a half right now. Could do more on the weekends if its free. Lets push it to $90 every week. $90/week x 52 weeks/yr x 20 years = $93,600 Now if this is family then i can double it for my wifes jeep and add ~ $50/week for my son for 7 years: $93,600 x 2 + 50 x 52 x 7 = $111,800 worst case
Food: $300 x 12 = 3600 per year. Lets assume that the family can eat $300 a month till im 83. $3600/year x 50 years = $180,000
Mercedes: $80,000. If i kept it i would have added insurance so its worth less that 80k. If i sold it right away ~$75k??

Food stands out as the best option for me.

I can stop flying. I can stop driving. If I stop eating.....well, I stop.

Its all about the food.
