Woman: "Do you drink beer?"
Man: "Yes,"
Woman: "How many beers a day?"
Man: "Usually about three,"
Woman: "How much do you pay per beer?"
Man: "$5.00, which includes a tip for the waiter."
Woman: "And how long have you been drinking?"
Man: "About twenty years, I suppose."
Woman: "So a beer costs $5 and you have three 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 one year, you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past
twenty 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? Accounting for compound interest for the past twenty years, you could have now bought a Ferrari!"
Man: "Do you drink beer?"
Woman: "No, I do not."
Man: "Where's your Ferrari, then?"
