The cost of pants

If you don’t wear pants there is a huge cost savings that can be achieved. :Lets say the average person has 10 pairs of pants in there closet at any given time. The life expectancy of those pants are 2 years and the average life expectancy of a person is 70 years. That means that over a persons life they will buy oh about 350 pairs of pants.

Now looking on Amazon.com I took the average prices and made this nice looking histogram of price options for pants. Now using the middle number of each grouping I found an total fictitious average of 67 dollars.



That means the average amount of money someone spends in their life for pants is $23,450. Think of all the things you could buy with that money.
