A Man's Logic!
Woman:
Do you smoke cigars?
Man: Yes.
Woman:
How many cigars a day?
Man:
Usually about 3.
Woman:
How much do you pay per cigar?
Man: $5.00, which includes tax.
(This is where it gets scary !)
Woman:
And how long have you been smoking?
Man:
About 20 years, I suppose.
Woman:
So a cigar costs $5 and you have 3 cigars 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 smoke so many cigars, 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 smoke cigars?
Woman:
No.
Man:
Where's your Ferrari?
