You give me $100 right now, and in a week from now, I'll give you back $100. Then, in another week from now, I'll give you another $100. In another week, I'll give you another $100. In fact, I'll keep giving you $100 every week forever.

If I were to come to you and make this offer, what would you say? Would you do it?

You might say, "Sure, I'll do it." However, what if you didn't have the money? Would you say to me, "I'd like to do that because it sounds like a really great deal, but I just don't have the money right now."? You wouldn't, would you?
