The Power of Math
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 $5,400 …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?
