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?

(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?
