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.
Woman: How long have you been drinking?
Man: About twenty years.
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 $5,400. Correct?
Man: Correct.
Woman: If in one year you spent $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: Where's your Ferrari?
