just walk to the end of the rainbow and ask the leprechauns for some money, or you can stand in the middle of a street and collect every cent that falls near the place your standing, it would only take you 16 years or so to get enough money for one piece.

Answer 10

Why would you waste points on a dumb question?  

Answer 11

At an average annualized savings of .015/year, given that a package of gum costs about .50 (?), it will take about 33 years. However, this assumes for purposes of discussion a static price for a pack of gum. This is highly unrealistic given natural inflation in the price per pack of gum index (PPPGI).  Given increases in the Gum Index, and concomitant decrease in the base value of the dollar, it is likely to take much longer than 33 years to save up for your gum.

However, you could conceivably use your .03 as a down payment on a loan, financing the remaining .47 over a set period of years. Consult your banker for details.

Answer 12

Assuming the gum cost $1.50, it would take you 98 years left.

If you meant a piece of gum that usually cost 25 cents, then 16 years left.
