Twenty Dollars

TWENTY DOLLARS

 

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new Husband and asked

 

for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state,

 

her husband readily agreed.

 

 

 

This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more

 

than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to

 

afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

 

 

 

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find

her husband in a very drunken state.

 

During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer

 

was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had

been let go.

 

It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find

 

another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning,

 

and therefore, they Were financially ruined.

 

 

 

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty

 

years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million.

 

Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million,

 

and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

 

 

 

She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex,

 

These holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

 

 

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over

 

$3 Million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but

 

finally he found his voice and blurted out,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

 

 

That's when she shot him.

 

 

You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

Starting at $0.00...

 

Given 30 years...

 

At 6.00% interest, compounded annually....

 

It would take an annual contribution of $11,932.93 for those 30 years to reach $1M, starting at 0.00.

 

$11,932.93 at $20 bucks a pop is 596.65 times/year.

 

One can venture a guess that her husband wasn't her only customer.

At 6.00% interest, compounded annually....

 

Maybe, like a lot of investors, she did one hell of a lot better than that.

 

Or maybe it's just a joke, you can't be sure.
