new way to save money

Postby Porkinator » Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:29 pm

I can't do this but some of you can.
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES...401 K PLAN vs 401 KEG PLAN....

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Fannie Mae and or Freddie Mac investments, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

With an AIG investment of $1000, you would have less than $15 left.

With a 401K of $1000 with National City Bank, your $1000 would be worth $20 dollars.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash!!!.

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

This is called the 401-Keg Plan...

Is it bad when I'm analyzing a joke?

First, to get $214 from cans is returning 2140 cans! I fail to see how it's possible to buy 2140 beers with a $1000, and that's even if it's Natty Lite. That's really being generous too, because it's failing to consider that by "removing" that money from your 401K, means you are going to be paying The Man a penalty. So, really it would only be possible to by $720 worth of beer (I believe the rate is 28%, but don't hold me to that).

By my calculations, $720 would get you 55 24-packs of Natty Lites and would result in 1320 beers...so $13.20 for your "investment". Which is right on pace for the other bad investments. I'd recommend putting that $1000 in an actual beer company's stock.

Get off the Internet. That will save you about $35 a month.
