Man and Wife

 

This a conversation between a man and his wife.

 

Woman: Do you drink beer?

 

Man: Yes.

 

Woman: How many beers a day?

 

Man: Usually about three.

 

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 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 an airplane?

 

Man: Do you drink beer?

 

Woman: No.

Man: Where is your airplane?
