These articles by their very design seem intended to piss people off, but we're still pissed off. As it turns out, this young go-getter has a whopping $43,000 put away, with $20K of that being in liquid assets. Maybe those charitable donations are a bit stingy after all...

Let's say you spend ten minutes a day on the pot at work. Five out of seven days a week are work days, which makes 260 days a year. Subtract two weeks (ten work days) for paid vacation and throw in some more off days for holidays, and you end up with around 240 work days left over. Based on this, if you work at a job for 10 years at the median American personal hourly income of $16.57 an hour (source: U.S. Department of Labor) working a typical eight hour day, that adds up to $132.56. Based on our ten-minute average (or 1/48 of a work day), that's $2.76 earned for every poop session. Multiply that by the work days in a year, and the years in a career, and voila:
You would earn $3,314.00 in a five-year career while pooping. You would earn $6,629.00 in a ten-year career while pooping. You would earn $13,255.00 in a 20-year career while pooping. You would earn $26,512.00 in a 40-year career while pooping.
If you saved these earnings over a 40-year time frame with tax exemption as long as the funds aren't withdrawn, based on today's mutual fund NAVs, your savings would total just shy of $103,000.
That's enough to cover the median sales price of houses in six states.
Time for a bathroom break!

Man, I feel so sorry for those "lower-class" people that have to work for fun. It's a rough world out there in this down economy.

Now if only we could do away with those pesky 40-hour-a-week rules... I know! If we got rid of minimum wage, I'd be able to work for less and my boss would give me more hours! #trollpolitics

On the one hand: How inspiring! Someone who cares enough about our children's education to make sacrifices for it!
On the other hand: This is what we're forced to do now? Have some people go to making minimum wage to adequately finance education? Oh, economy, you're screwed up.
