And I mean it, LITERALLY!
Now, where do you get off not having to pay for your purchase at the time of purchase and have someone else pay for it long after you’re 6 feet underground and on top of that, absolved from paying any sort of interest on the principal. That is quite a bargain don’t you think? And yes, such benefits do happen to you if you are the future king of England! Go have a read.
If I were the merchant, not even a discount on the interest. Heck, my family have had to pay taxes anyways for the past 300++ years that the debt was owed to me. You have lived comfortably and now its time to pay back your dues (again, literally speaking).
The principal was about 450 pounds and the accumulated interest would’ve been about 47,000 pounds. That man must either have a good heart or he is mathematically challenged. Then again, he probably don’t have to pay any taxes for the rest of his life as a trade-off resulting from his good gesture. I wouldn’t know. But, what I would know is, give me 47,000 pounds and I’d give my entire house a nice face-lift. New furnitures and replace all my rotting blinds. Oh yes, and free petrol for the next 20 years of my life - I don’t drive that much.
