Think about it.

  
Critical Thinking At Its Best! 
  
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 
  
Woman: 
And how long have you been drinking? 
  
Man: 
About 20 years, I suppose 
  
Woman: 

So a beer costs $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day

which puts your spending each month at $450.00.  

In one year, it would be approximately $5,400.00

 

correct? 
  
Man: 
Correct 
  
Woman: 
If in 1 year you spend $5,400.00, not accounting for

inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at

$108,000.00 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?
