The boys' worst fears became a reality a few weeks after finishing the overdue orders, although these had brought them a good amount of money during that time, following Bear's advice they did not touch those funds.
Bear's saving tactic was a bit leonine but very effective, the idea was not to return to their normal level of expenses until they could first double their reserves, taking into account that these decreased every day with the payments they had to make. If they managed to double them, they would save from that moment on one of every two salaries earned until they tripled it, then they would continue with one of every three, and so on continuously.
