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 (Not round here it doesn't)
(This is where it gets scary !)
Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?
Man:
About 20 years, I suppose
Woman:
So, if a beer costs £5:00 and you have 3 beers a day, this puts your spending
each month at £450. Therefore, in one year, it would be approximately £5,400.
Correct?
Man:
Correct
Woman:
If in 1 year you spend £5,400, 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:
So Where's your Ferrari then???????
