Angela: Do you drink?
Ol' Jim: Yes.
Angela: How much a day?
Ol' Jim: Three 6 packs.
Angela: How much does it cost per 6 pack?
Ol' Jim: About $10.00.
Angela: And how long have you been drinking?
Ol' Jim: 15 years.
Angela: So one 6 pack costs $10.00, and you have 3 packs a day which puts your spending each month at $900. In one year, it would be $10,800 correct?[
Ol' Jim: Correct.
Angela: If in 1 year you spend $10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending at $162,000 correct?
Ol' Jim: Correct.
Angela: Do you know that if you hadn't drank, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Ol' Jim: Do you drink?
Angela: No.
Ol' Jim: So where's your f***ing Ferrari then?
Ol' Jim: Yes.
