How many beers a day?

And how long have you been drinking?

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 am I 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 Ferrari?

 

Man:

 

Do you drink beer?

 

Woman:

 

No

 

Man:

 

Where's your Ferrari?
