****Woman: Do you drink beer?
****Man: Yes
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE]**** 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
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] $5400 …correct?
****Man: Correct
**** Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation,
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] 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
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a
[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE] Ferrari?
**** Man: Do you drink beer?
**** Woman: No
**** Man: Where’s your Ferrari?
