So, what you’re saying is I could afford to eat at Waffle House?

u/UniqueName2 5d ago

You could afford to buy and eat every single Waffle House.

u/ttircdj 5d ago

That’s one way to take over the South

u/lookalive07 5d ago

I'm not sure eating the building is advisable.

u/ruat_caelum 4d ago

u/kqi_walliams 5d ago

I find your lack of faith disturbing

u/Consequence6 5d ago

At the same time because you invested in cloning technology.

u/AvatarAda 4d ago

You named a Gola, Ebola.

u/Pretzel911 4d ago

You shouldn't eat buildings.

u/BadWolf_Corporation 4d ago

"Wait. I'm worried what you just heard was bring me a lot of Waffle Houses. What I said was give me all the Waffle Houses you have."

u/xPofsx 5d ago

You could at least afford a McDouble or something

u/ttircdj 5d ago

Yeah, but McDonald’s doesn’t have as much entertainment as Waffle House 3rd shift

3

u/xPofsx 5d ago

It's often safer, but with slightly less, but still interesting, characters

3

u/ttircdj 5d ago

I’m allergic to safety.

1

u/xPofsx 4d ago

There is no guarantee at either location to be fair

u/SHWAPAH 5d ago

At least twice yeah

u/ttircdj 5d ago

Well, I don’t usually eat breakfast anyways, so lunch and dinner it is!

u/DengarLives66 5d ago

Now look who’s a fancy lad!

u/orthros 4d ago

You can afford to go to Five Guys. Twice.

u/ttircdj 4d ago

Billionaire shit there

What they're saying is that you could afford to eat a house made out of waffles.

u/Behrooz0 5d ago

Bruh. Are you kidding? You could even afford Sky TV.

1

u/ttircdj 4d ago

Netflix?

u/ttircdj 4d ago

Sorry, I’m from Alabama. They never taught me how to read.

u/TheHarbarmy 4d ago

Can maybe even get Five Guys. Still gotta go with the little fries though.

u/ballisticbuddha 4d ago

You should keep in mind that you'll have that much after 5,000 years. What is it going to be actually worth after that long? How much of the actual value will be eaten up by inflation.

0

u/ttircdj 4d ago

In 5,000 years, it might buy me a cup of sugar.

u/ObamasBoss 4d ago

No. Inflation has been more than 4%. This person's bank account was $0 LONG ago and owes maintenance fees. This assumed we are just jumping forward 5000 years and letting whatever happen.

u/ValuableMiddle378 4d ago

Idk with inflation you might only get some grits

That's not how it works.

T = C * (1 + i/k) ^ nk

(Total, (initial) Capital, interest, k=periods in a year, n=number of years)

Assuming a monthly interest payment:

T = 8.37 * (1 + (0.04/12)) ^ (5000*12) = 4e87€

Assuming a yearly interest payment:

T = 8.37 * (1 + 0.04) ^ 5000 = 1e86€

u/Schonke 4d ago

T = 8.37 * (1 + 0.04) ^ 5000 = 1e86€

Ahem, 1.27e86! Don't skim 2.7e85 euros from the poor bastard!
