Guy I knew back in the days told me to invest in woman and pimp them.
He was making a shitload of money so I asked him how to invest.
I paid him $12k and 2 days later there was a Bulgarian woman in front of my door.
The guy disappeared and I had no idea hot to pimp.
Eventually she lives with me cleans my house, cooks and have sex with her.
7 years later we are married with 3 kids.
Ow yeah I actually lost my virginity to her.

she was really happy and I could tell she was already spending the money in her head. I tried to explain to her why it was that this scenario would never happen, I told her they would just issue a new currency because the old one is wayyyyy too inflated. basically I tried to explain economics to her but after she got pissed I kind of left it at that and let them LARP. I could also tell she wasn't happy that I questioned her fathers intelligence. They are well off anyway so they didn't even need the money, but needless to say they are still waiting. this was like two years ago.

Yeah well it's not the story we tell family or friends, we tell them she rented a room and we fell in love.
>>13101743
Technically I actually might broke even, I never paid for a cleaner, cook or pussy after I bought her.
Plus she gave me offspring, I think I would say I might be the happiest man on this board when I come back home from work.
You have to keep in mind that I am an ugly autistic dork married to a 8.5/10

my dad bought into this. and then also bought into the whole Zimbabwe revaluation meme. Bought a shitload of them from ebay. I've never taken financial advice from a boomer. Including the "you'll never make it if you don't go to college" meme. Glad I skipped on that as well.

Someone needs to make a service like this where you can buy non prostitute women for marital purposes. I of course would have the best intentions at heart, I just can't stand all the bullshit with modern woman. Rather pay a dowry.

>that iraqi dinar?

yeah bro, it was just you. get a mentally normal person to look after your money for you.

by the way, was the boomer you mention the one who sold you the dinars?

he knowingly sold you monopoly money, because he knew you were a sucker.
