It is a bit worrying that I had to borrow AU$1700 to help my bank balance even though I only spent $1050 on it…
So what happened to the other $650? Remember you said you could make up the shortfall if your investment heads south.
Also, do the Capital Venturers that are the ones taking the financial risk get anything besides their “investment” back if you turn a profit?
Maybe I’ve been repaying another loan to my wife (for her car) a bit too fast. I also buy her food, clothes and petrol while she saves a lot of her money. Well she says the savings are for the both of us.
The thing is with investments as opposed to loans is that often in investments they can lose some money…
She has $50,000 in saving while you “stole/borrowed” $1000 from her YET you pay all her bills YET you took a loan from your wife for her car?
Is that close to the gist of it? And just curious are you two actually married or is it more “wife”? And are you two in a community property state?
I feel I’m late to the JohnClay party so any dopers that know the answers feel free to answer.
That was the amount I told her about. I later “borrowed” another $200 from that car account. Though now I have paid the latest $75 repayment from her flatmates into that account.
We still split many of the bills like electricity, rent and groceries. (by “food” I meant take-away) BTW recently I paid her a $60 bribe because there were some second-hand chairs that I didn’t want her to get.
I really wanted her to buy a particular car so I said I’d pay $2000 for it (and $2500 came from her flatmates getting her old car). I also paid for half of the many car expenses. I still owe her $524 for that.
Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn’t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 as a tip for himself. Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid $9; bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. And $27 + $2 = $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?
John Clay, tell this riddle to your wife. Get her all puzzled about that dollar. Then explain that the money you took from her is just like the money in the riddle, and everything is hunky dory, she just thinks you owe her some dollars. But it comes out in the math.
