I wanted tO buy a shirt for 50k,
so i borrowed 25k from mum nd 25k from dad.
Wen i went to buy it,
i bought it for 45k, meaning i am left wit 5k.
I gave 1k back to my mom nd 1k to back to dad
i am now left wit 3k.
Now i owe my parents 24k each.
Now 24k + 24k=48k + 3k (which i remained wit) = 51k.
Now where did dat xtra 1k come frm since i only had 50k ? ?.?
How smart are u ?

24k each is how much you owed...

3k is how much you have....

it came from crappy accounting skillz.

why pay them 1k only?

pay your mom 2k, pay your dad 2k. you got 1k left. then you split that 1k in half, so you give your mom 0.5, and dad 0.5

22.5+22.5= 45 total cost of the shirt.

now you have no change, and in debt of 22.5 to both your mom and dad

Take the 50k, buy the shirt fort 45k.

Keep your 5k, and resell shirt for 55k.

Now you have 60k.

Pay dad and mom back the debt and you now have 10k for yourself.

You realized later you never needed to buy a new shirt because who the hell would buy a shirt for 50k?

Count only the real money, not the "fictitious amounts":

the shopkeeper has $45, you have $3 and your parents have $1 each = $50

Now you know why the Swiss bankers are so rich - all those extra $$ go into swiss bank accounts
