Imagine this conversation...
Chichi: Do you smoke?
Akpos: Yes....
Chichi: How many packs a day?
Akpos: 3 packs.
Chichi: How much per pack?
Akpos: N200.
Chichi: And how long have you been smoking?
Akpos: For 15 years.
Chichi: So, one pack costs N200, and you have 3 packs a day, which puts your spending each month at N18,000. In one year, it would be N216,000 correct?
Akpos: Correct.
Chichi: If in one year you spend N216,000 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending at over N3,000,000 correct?
Akpos: Correct.
Chichi: Do you know that if you hadn't smoked, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have now easily bought a brand new Range Rover HSE Sport?
Akpos: Do you smoke?
Chichi: No.
Akpos: So where's your Range Rover HSE Sport then?
Chichi: Do you smoke?
Akpos: Yes....
