Quantitative bad deals whereby enslaved workers or employees are being taken advantage of by their bosses or entrepreneurs, who have financial control over their lives, be it five days of work in exchange for a weekend break (5 : 2)—an investment of –60%—or a two-week annual leave (2 : 52), or a 5% savings rate on gross salary for 40 years.

Millions of people around the world are aware of the rogue ratios that force them to live a mediocre life, but only a very percentage of them think they can work for a better ratio to achieve financial freedom.

Breakfast Ratio

n. The ratio of sausages (males) to eggs (females) at a place, event, or social gathering. The optimal ratio is a matter of preference, but experts recommend a healthy mix for a balanced breakfast.

Person 1: How was the breakfast ratio at the party last night?
Person 2: Terrible! Hardly a woman in sight — it was a total sausage fest.

The Shit/Shower ratio

An unwritten rule of law that compels the gut-dropper to go no more than three bouts of shitting without taking a shower. The ratio is set such to allow for illness, camping, and general dirty arsed folk.

"I'm already on my third shower of the day. I knew I shouldn't have ordered that vindaloo"

"May I quickly use your shower? I went to that Brazilian All You Can Eat last night and I need to reset the shit/shower ratio"

"You shower quit a lot"
"Yeah, I'm lactose intolerant but still eat pizza"

"Your farts stink!"
"Yeah, sorry. I really need a shit but I'm at my limit with the shit/shower ratio and can't shower until the weekend"
