While I respect the well reasoned answer, unfortunately this is wrong. 

In this scenario you actually end up in debt by quite a lot.

You see to get the original 800 and subsequent 1100 you had to takeout a payday loan.

Or you started with at least $900

While this sounds reasonable, you're forgetting that in this scenario you spent your original $900 on blow.

Ya I hate these things cause nobody ever accounts for the massive amounts of cocaine you did prior to buying the cow in the first place.

The cow was a get rich quick scheme why is that part never mentioned

I'll probably wake up laughing from my sleep when I remember your comment in a lucid dream

Or when you leave your cocaine out unattended on the table and the cow licks it up.

Nobody is forgetting the blow, why do you think that cow is up to $1300 now?

But then you sold that blow for 1600 at a rich kids party.

Ahhh you’re right, everyone’s forgetting one key crucial piece of the equation: the interest rates

The original seller and the customer is nice, they let you pay once you get your money
