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 Ferrari?

Man:​ ​Do you drink beer?

Woman:​ No

Man:​ Where's your Ferrari?
