The Real Cost of Your Phone Habit
Look, we all know too much phone time is "bad for us." But most people have no idea how bad. We're not just talking about a little wasted time here and there. This is about your health, your money, and your relationships - all getting worse while you scroll.
Your Phone Is Costing You Serious Money
If you value your time at even minimum wage, 4 hours of daily phone scrolling costs you about $29,200 per year. That's a new car every year, literally thrown away on mindless scrolling. But wait, it gets worse. Heavy phone users get fewer promotions, miss networking opportunities, and their skills stagnate.
Your Body Is Paying the Price Too
"Tech neck" is real - people are getting physical therapy in their 20s because of phone posture. You're more likely to be overweight, sleep poorly, and yes, even get in accidents. Heavy phone users spend about $1,200 more per year on healthcare. Your phone is literally making you sick.
