Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking At Its Best!

 

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 $5400.00, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000.00 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?
