I’ve seen this riddle before and it’s something to do with balance and expenditure are not equal and can never be.

Its rather like counting your fingers - okay count them 1 to 10
Now count backwards 10, 9, 8,7,6.
Okay so 6 plus 4 = 10
So on the other hand count 1, 2, 3, 4 so that = 4 and 4 and 6 = 10 but you have one finger left over!!

There is no reason why the right hand column should ever equal the left hand column.
Try spending £1 at a time on this idea and you realise there is no reason why at all, it is something you get talked into. The catch is 'you got caught'.
