http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2006/09/15/10836_drink-beer-earn-more.html Bridging the gap between saving money and investing Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:38:31 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2006/09/15/10836_drink-beer-earn-more.html/comment-page-1#comment-5720 Kevin Wed, 20 Sep 2006 23:39:32 +0000 http://www.pfadvice.com/?p=836#comment-5720 I agree with all of the authors' suggestions as to why there is this correlation. But, I'd also add the fact that going to a bar at least once a month requires some extra income. You could also argue in the same way that owning a BMW causes you to have a higher income, when really your higher income allows you to AFFORD a BMW. People who have higher incomes can AFFORD going to a bar at least once a month. Now I realize drinking isn't a luxury activity, and there many poor college students who go out drinking a lot even when they really can't afford it, but I'll bet this plays into it a little bit.
