How to be financially wise 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
FYI..... If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta air lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.
With Enron,you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00
With WorldCom,you would have had less than $5.00 left.
But,if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of Beer one year ago,drank all of the beer,then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund,you would have $214.00 cash.

Based on the above,the best current investment advise is to drink lots of beer and recycle.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found Americans drink,on average,22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means,on average Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Problem solved.

This is the best advice I've heard in a long time. I'm gonna sell my Motorola stock and buy some Newcastle.

22 Gallons a year I might be bumping that average up as I'm sure I drink more Beer than that in a year But, as I've gotten in my 30's it's definitely slowed from the 20's

I'd spend the $214. on motorcycle parts, or continue the sound investment in more beer.

Snake, your a wealth of information... Is aluminum really worth that much these days? Lets see, average 10 bucks a 12 pack, thats 120 twelve pacs..or 1440 cans, I think they're paying about 75 cents a pound.. anyone know what a can weighs..without the beer...
