For decades I have mostly been talking about the “touchy feely” side of my experiences with Mud Fun and recently some mathematics was revealed to me that adds a whole new perspective which I’m sure you’ve never heard or considered and so I’m keen to share it with you and have you challenge it because I’m certain it will challenge you. I’m calling this discovery “Bank Power Bank” which is a kind of power that is strongly related to financial freedom and wealth.
This came to me while I was spending lots of time in and around our completed sleeping pod and feeling a certain way which I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
Noticing the immediate positive emotional reactions of people visiting the cubby and hearing them express how much they would like to have one, and then noticing that no one was able to take any next steps, there was a conflict. As I began pondering the most probable obvious roadblocks for people to take next steps, I discovered a game-changing revelation hidden in plain sight, based on maths.
The obvious roadblock is that we only have so much time, energy and money available, and as romantic as the backyard sleeping pod cubby house concept might feel at first sight, it doesn’t take long before our logical brain kicks in and categorises it as a whimsical nice-to-have play-thing, and not as a serious asset that can provide any stability, wealth or power, which takes precedence. 
And then I discovered the maths that shows another opposite perspective. To be clear, we are not collecting any rent here from this sleeping pod cubby; (despite offers) we are enjoying the space as extra room to spread out in, and as I spend time in and around it, I’ve realised I’m collecting an energy and power which very few people have. This power has a mathematical element and I came up with the term “bank-power-bank” to describe an aspect of this power which comes from the idea of a power bank, as in a storage of power that you can take with you anywhere, and also “bank-power” as in having some of the same power as the banks, which will make more sense later.
Here’s the maths. $100 a week is the minimum anyone typically pays for shelter here in Australia. People pay more than that to park their van on someone’s land and use their water, toilet and power. Therefore, it is very safe to say that the value of having this sleeping pod cubby house is the equivalent of $100 per week. Most people say the cubby house is worth more than this because most people pay about 4 to 5 times that for a self-contained studio providing the same kind of privacy and autonomy. The cubby provides this in a more rustic and whimsical way but to make my point using the most conservative estimates I’m going to go with the $100 a week figure, which multiplied by 50 weeks is $5,000 dollars a year, which is to say that having this sleeping pod cubby is capable of either saving $5,000 a year or earning that if rented out.
Now to compare the security of this earning or savings capacity with other available options we must ask what is the likelihood of the cubby being able to consistently collect or save this amount, and what else offers a comparable amount of security? Considering how important shelter is and how appealing the structure is, its inherent strength and location, I believe it offers a very secure guarantee. The only other thing I can think of that is equally guaranteed is having money in the bank earning interest, specifically a savings account. Several government and corporate financial sources state that the only way to safely guarantee earning interest is via a traditional savings account. There are other types of accounts that earn higher returns but when there is a financial crisis they are not guaranteed like a plain old savings account is. And by comparison, this sleeping pod cubby structure will always be able to earn or save the money regardless of the financial situation and so its security is more comparable to a guaranteed savings account than to any other types of investment accounts which provide higher returns but are not guaranteed. 
So guess how much money you would need to have in such a savings account to earn $5,000 dollars a year? Have a wild guess. It doesn’t matter if you get it wrong because most people don't know, and I’ll explain why later. For now just have a wild guess. 
Here's what I found. The average national interest rate for savings accounts is 0.1768% and in such an account, $1 million dollars earns $1768 per year in interest and so you would need to have about $2.8 million dollars in your account before you could safely sit back, do nothing and collect that $5,000 a year. And so, it begs the question, could it be that this cubby has the same inherent power as $2.8 million dollars? No wonder I was feeling like a million dollars, but not. That’s the first part of my revelation. 
And then I realised you could ask anyone how much it costs to rent a room in a house in their area, and they would know the an…
