Man/Woman conversation



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

(This is where it gets scary !)



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?
