Article: Halal Cart Maths

[JasonYao]

Short fun article, dig into halal cart culture and pricing, and digging into answering the theoretical question of "how much money would I need in order to have halal food indefinitely?"

Additional information:

• 3 halal meals a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• we're going to presume an averaged invested return from the stock market from the past 30 years, and just keep our principle in there
• See if we can pull the current human life expectancy for (gender, race) per federal databases (), and make a nice online tool where it'll calculate it for you
• we're going to have to consider inflation. Do note halal cart price inflation is much slower than real inflation, since it's been $5 halal cart food in NYU, and $6 halal cart food in FiDi for the past 7 years. See if there's any data to be found on halal cart prices- if not, keeping track of my own data set with a halal cart inflation index could be a fun side project on its own
