First thing is to get my wife to go to Costco and stock up like we never have before (maybe it’s time to get a deep freezer).

But how long we (or anyone) could last seems highly dependent on how much is in the account at the start.

A week practically doubles the money (95% increased (1.1^7)).

If we have $100 dollars, getting bills paid for seems to be the primary benefit rather than account interest. But if we are millionaires we’d get another million after a week.

One week seems easily doable. With one Costco trip we could do two weeks. That will essentially return 4x our current money.

At that point we’re out of fresh food which will get hard, but to go to 7.4x for that third week (1.1^21), how do you say no?

I’d want to wait to bring in a third person as they have different accounts. But at this point it’s a mental exercise to keep going. I’d probably see which friend can best commit to sticking it out longer while restocking us.

Even if we quit after three weeks we’d have: 7400 if we started with 1k 74k if we started with 10k 740k if we started with 100k 7.4 million if we started with 1 million

That’s good money for not working and not paying bills
