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 and you have three 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 one 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 an airplane?

Man: Do you drink beer?



Woman: No.

Man: Where is your airplane?
