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 $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.00. In one year it would be approximately $5400.00, 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?
 
Man: Do you buy new things that depreciate at an amazing rate and wonder why you never have anything "nice"?

A real man doesn't want anything to do with an Italian fuss-bucket.
 
Man: Would you ever buy a Vera Wang wedding dress for $1000, to wear for a DAY?
Woman: Are you kidding? Yes, that would be a bargain!
Man: Well, this is a bargain, and I'LL get more than one day out of it.
 

the way the economy is going, youd get a better return on the empty cans than one most investment funds anyway
