        Saving On Parking ShrewdlyContributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 22, 2025 (message contributor)
A woman goes to a bank in NYC and takes out a loan for $5,000. She leaves her Rolls Royce as collateral. They carefully park it in their garage, confused as to why a millionaire would take out a loan for only $5,000.
Two weeks later, she returns. She pays off the loan plus $15.55 interest.
The banker’s curiosity gets the best of him. He asks, “Mam, you have millions. Why would you take a loan for only $5,000?”
“Well,” she replied, “where else in NYC can you safely park a car for two weeks for only $15.55?”
