Title: Critical Thinking At Its Best!
Post by: Z900owner on August 06, 2014, 10:37:58 PM

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 new Ferrari?

Man:           Do you drink beer?


Woman:     No

Man:            Where's your Ferrari?
