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 new Ferrari?

Man:
Do you drink beer?


Woman:
No.

Man:
Where's your Ferrari?

3 beers a day for 20 years!

Sounds more fun than a Ferrari.
