When there is no money, we ride a bicycle. When there is money - twist the pedals of the bike trainer installed in the living room.
When we don’t have money, we dream of getting married. When we have money, we dream of divorce.
When there is no money, the wife goes to work as a secretary. When there is money, the secretary begins to work as a “wife”.
