QUIZ: Should You Buy an Airport Sandwich or Use That Money to Throw Your Dream Wedding?

Every day we make decisions about how best to spend our money, where to invest, and which monetary trade-offs to make. So, you’ve found yourself in the airport, and you’re hungry. Additionally, you’ve just proposed to the love of your life and are throwing a wedding in ten short months. Take this quiz to find out if you should just buy the airport sandwich or use that money to throw your dream wedding, because that’s about how much it costs! 

 

How hungry are you?

  1. Starving! And as such, I’m willing to invest an exorbitant amount of money in a mediocre sandwich right this instant. 
  2. Pretty hungry – it is the airport after all – but I could definitely suck it up and not eat anything for the next ten hours if it means I get to throw a destination wedding in Zurich! 

 

Quick – based on instinct alone, choose “hot chili peppers sandwich” or “Hot Chili Peppers wedding band.”

  1. Hot chili peppers sandwich! I love when a sandwich has a little kick, for example, an insane price tag. 
  2. Hot Chili Peppers wedding band! Love those guys and would give anything to have them play at my wedding, even though their going rate is $15,000. Californication forever! I don’t know what that means. 

 

How expensive do you expect your wedding to be?

  1. Cheap! Now that I think of it, a sandwich is probably way more expensive than my wedding will be, so it’s not really a fair comparison. 
  2. I would say it’s going to run me upwards of $100k. About the same amount as one single turkey club in this here Denver airport. 

 

Do you currently have enough money to cover your wedding?

  1. Yes, as I make upwards of nine figures. 
  2. Yes, but only if I opt out of this sandwich and drink combo. It appears God has decided to test me today.

 

RESULTS:

 

 

Mostly 1s: Just buy that airport sandwich! You really should have led with the fact that you make nine figures – an airport sandwich is basically the equivalent of a normal sandwich to you! 

 

Mostly 2s: Forgo the sandwich and put that money straight towards your dream wedding! It should cover the entire cost, all $100,000. Sure, you’ll be hungry for today, but you’ll make memories to last a lifetime – oh, you panicked and just bought the airport sandwich? That’s fine too! Enjoy paying it off for the rest of your life.
