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:
£3
Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?
Man:
About 30 years, I suppose
Woman:
So a beer costs £3 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending
each month at £270.
In one year, it would be approximately £3,240 correct?
Man:
Correct
Woman:
If in 1 year you spend £3,240 not accounting for inflation, the past
30 years puts your spending at £97,200 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 30 years, you could have
now bought a Ferrari?
Man:
Do you drink beer?
Woman:
No
Man:
Then where is your Ferrari?

I actually saved in a similar fashion to buy my car of choice. It was not American, British, Italian nor Bavarian. Just love German engineering!! :-) :-) :-)
