SorryNotSorry Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Say you have a lot of people paying into a financial pool. Eventually some of the people leave the pool and can no longer pay into it (they go broke, they die, they leave the country, etc), and the people running the pool charge the remaining members more across the board to make up for the lost revenue. Is there an economic word or phrase for this? Link to post Share on other sites

gisiebob Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 the internet is almost well trained. I understand what you are talkin about, but I don't know any sort of terminology, and if I would have to explain it I'd start talking about people having to move a couch.
