Back in the '80s I remember a great book by Victor Kulvinskas: Something or other "into the 21'st century". It explained how to live raw on 15 cents a day and get incredibly healthy. Maybe it might be a dollar by now, but couldn't be much more.

Eating live is much less expensive than eating cooked. Firstly, you need less food longer term because your body will get what it needs. You crave less food when you are getting the nutrients you need. Another thing, is that if you want a family, one of the most catastrophic expenditures a family can have emotionally as well as monetarily is sickness. Every woman I have ever known who was completely raw had a painless and easy birth. The baby comes out clean - without all the "gook" on it - and really healthy. If you are planning on having a kid it is the most economical thing you can do. Have a healthy baby pop out at home. Also, longer term, medications, doctors and hospitals over the course of a lifetime add up tremendously if you aren't raw. It is much cheaper to eat raw no matter how much you spend on it. If you get Victor's book and spend close to nothing - well then - you can put all that extra cash into a money market account starting now and be wealthy by the time your kid goes to college.
