You borrowed 100$ from friend,and you lost them. Then from girlfriend you borrowed 50$,from which you bought 2 chocolate bars,each one costs 10$,30$ you had left,you returned to friend. So now you own him 70$ and you own your girlfriend 50$,that's 120$ and you have 2 chocolate bars costing 20$. Where did 10$ go?

You borrowed $150 total. You 'used' $120 (2 expensive as hell chocolate bars and lost $100 due to stupidity or w/e)
The remaining $ were returned, leaving your debt of $120 (+ interest)

there is no 10$ lost. the entire thing doesn't make sense.

the 70$ + 50$ are debts you have. not actual value like the chocolate bars. you can't add those two.

Sigh..

What you have is :

$150 of debt-funded assets.

$100 was spent on extraneous things (you lost it), $20 was spent on chocolate, leaving you with $30 cash. (still adds up to 150).

You then use the $30 to return part of the debt, leaving you with :

$120 debt
$100(lost)+$20(spent) expenditure.

$120 debt = $120 expenditure, nothing went anywhere - you're just a retard for losing money.

The chocolate bars are part of the 120$ debt, the remaining 30$ is what you have already repayed.

Sharks are not monsters Henley, they are cute, cuddly and misunderstood. They love humans. sometimes they love TOO much. They love people so much that sometimes their kisses separate people into two flailing pieces which are consumed by other sharks in a frenzy of peace and joy.
