Woman:
Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes.
Woman: How
many beers a day?
Man:
Usually about 3.
Woman: How
much do you pay per beer?
Man: $5.00,
which includes a tip.
Woman: And
how long have you been
drinking?
Man: About
20 years, I suppose.
Woman: So
a beer costs $5, and you have
3 beers a day, which puts your
spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be
approximately $5400. Correct?
Man:
Correct.
Woman: If
in 1 year you spend $5400, not
accounting for inflation, the
past 20 years puts your
spending
at $108,000. Correct?
Man:
Correct.
Woman: Do
you know that, if you didn't
drink so much beer, that money
could have been put in a
step-up
interest savings account, and
after accounting for compound
interest for the past 20
years, you could
have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do
you drink beer?
Woman: No.
Man:
Where's your Ferrari?
