Division of Capital - Household Pets vs. Twentysomething



Puggles is considered the richest because he cost the most at the time of purchase. I don't know exactly how much he cost, and it's rude to ask him, so I'm going to say $300. He also owns two (2) blankets, for an estimated total of $20, and he has approximately $70 worth of toys. It probably cost about $100 to get him fixed. He owns a bed ($50), and I would say his share of the couch is equal to about $110. Therefore, of the pets, Puggles has the most capital ($650).

Socks is next because she is the senior executive of LoosCatsCo and therefore she don't take no shit from no one. She is worth an estimated $152. She was free from a farm, so she doesn't have an initial investment cost. I pay her $1 a year to keep my pillow warm ($12). She owns a CatSpa, which I estimate to be worth an approximate $20 value. She currently owns approximately $5.40 in cat treats. I estimate, after depreciation, her surgery to get spayed probably cost about $90 (12 years is a long time.) The remaining $24.60 is what she plays on the stock market.

I estimate Willy/Babycat has an estimated asset value of $50. This is for when she finally gets around to writing the heartwarming story of my stealing her from the high school courtyard and bringing her into a nice, warm home. It's going to be one of those Hallmark movies. When she gets around to it.

Then there's me. I have an estimated value of -$17,000.

Therefore, a designer mutt, an old cranky calico, and a smelly midget cat that lived in the high school courtyard all have a higher net worth than me, an almost 22 year old, human, career college graduate.

Win!
