Liquid Assets

This has been popping up all over my Facebook News Feed, so I figured it must be both important AND accurate. Obvi!

If you purchased $1,000 of Delta Airlines stock 1 year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $33.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of Lehman Brothers stock 1 year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer 1 year ago, drank all the beer, and returned the aluminum cans for a recycling refund, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be an American!
