- At the start of the school year, assume that 1000 students show up. In the first month, the slumlord
converts 900 students into money
- In the next month, there are only 100 homeless students left, so the slumlord can only convert 90 of them
into money
- Finally, in the third month, there are only 10 students left, resulting in a very small velocity
of $9 produced for the poor slumlord
