Some tips for retirement planning from an expert in the industry:

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock three years ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

But if over the last three years you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer, drank all the beer, then returned the cans or bottles for your refund you would have $614.00.

So based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I am currently calculating the dividends on wine consumption

So... I REALLY want to know which bottle depot you use, that refunds 61.4% of the full purchase price for beer cans. Then I'm quitting my day job (oh shit, forgot, don't have one) and hitting the ditches.

1000 cans is about 2 bucks each is 500 cans is 500 cans times 5 cents is 25 dollars...

Read between the lines ... it says I bought $1000 of beer I don't drink alone so if every one of your friends buys $1000 worth and then you take ALL the cans and bottles back .... JK

OK, so I thought it was appropriate, guess not with you analytical types

you easily spend 1000 a year on wine

Ya, but it is GOOD wine

weird timing as i just signed up for the company voluntary rrsp plan....they match what you put away up to 3% of total yearly pay for me right now....not bad, it's a start

and i have quit drinking except for when i am attending hockey games...hopefully this will save a bit of money as well!

ciao

Tru dat

You're so sensible
