The economics of love

The economics of love reflect the intensity of a relationship. When it comes to an end the ones with the most invested will suffer the greatest heartbreak. While those who find it easy to simply walk away have long ago pulled out their assets and do not suffer the same sense of loss their partner has only begun to experience. The effects of the fall out are felt for many years and alter the investors own willingness to seek out new emotional enterprises. It often leads to a sense of emotional bankcruptcy. Many report that they feel drained, as though they have nothing left to give. Sufferers may even seek out quick payouts from other sources, longing for the emotional stockpile they had been privy to before.

Love is also dependent on the rules of supply and demand. When the love you seek is in short supply, you will go out of your way and pay almost any price just to have access to such a precious commodity once again. The inverse is also true. If the love you possess is in high supply, you will take it for granted, its value in your eyes will diminish and you will no longer request it in such a high quantity. Keep this in mind next time you invest in someone else.

Probably most importantly though, the same way some people are good with money, some people are good with love. Invest your love wisely, don't spend all your love in one place, and closely monitor who has access to your love. Making wise and informed decisions regarding your love will increase your dividends substantially.

Finally, when it comes to love diversify your portfolio. DO NOT INVEST ALL OF YOUR LOVE IN ONE PERSON OR IDEA. Love should be distributed amongst family members, friends, hobbies, passions and finally significant others. That being said, while it may seem plausible to invest minute amounts of your love into several different avenues in the long run your gains will be minimal. Taking a chance and investing a substantial portion of your love set aside exclusively for "significant other" in one particular person can ultimately maximize your gains in 5, 10, 25 years.

I'd much rather be a key shareholder in someone special than have remnants of my love invested in many other individuals.

Make sense? Yeah I thought so.
