mathematics... i like :)

let's do a bit of math here:
Josh is an NS man. He brings home a salary of $370 per month. He doesn't need to give his parents money, but he owns a bike which requires him to repay back $190 each month. This is not inclusive of his petrol fees which costs about $30 per month. Not forgetting he smokes, setting him back by around $10 per day. Meals cost $4 a day on an average. How much money does Josh have left at the end of the month?

Solution:
NS salary = +$370
Bike repayment = -$190
Petrol = -$30
Ciggarettes @ $10/day = -$300
Meals @ $4/day = -$120
Balance = -$270

So every month, Josh owes $270 to someone. Oh, i forgot to mention that Josh hasn't given his girlfriend her birthday present, christmas present and valentine's day present. What's more, their anniversary is coming up. This is bad, because Josh doesn't have any money left. Although he has suggested to his girlfriend that they should take a holiday to Thailand in June, he has no clue himself as to how he is going to find the money to pay for it. In fact, he hasn't given his girlfriend anything - not a single stalk of flower, not a single slice of cake, not a single card. NOTHING.

Oh, what the heck, he always assumes that his girlfriend is very rich just because she seems to have countless branded stuff. But he is wrong. His girlfriend is not receiving any allowance from her parents now due to a change in financial situation. And although she keeps telling him that he is broke, he still asks that she pay for meals and stuff like that.

If you were a by-stander, would you ask his girlfriend to keep him or leave him? Drop your answers in the tag-board on the right. :) The results will be out real soon. Haha. Stay tuned.
