What if you put the money for a can of soda a day into Coca-Cola stock instead?
5 years of sodas cost $1,002. The same money in Coca-Cola stock, bought each month, is worth $1,455 today (1.5x). Sodas and the other what if I had invested questions are on one page, each with what the money is worth today.
