Not to accuse you of doing this, but I’m a little bemused at how my post seems to have been taken as a broad apologetic for the ancestor’s cost calculator when I was trying to make the point that, when you’re playing with values in the high hundreds of dollars per month, conclusions like “investing this will make you a millionaire after 35 years” prove a lot less than they sound like they do. Hell, the first sentence even says that bicycles aren’t the important thing to be thinking about there.
So in other words, I think we agree. I could probably have been clearer with my examples, though.
Sure; I don’t dispute any of that.
