When Richie tells his father how he used the money, Mr. Rich commends Richie on his generosity, but tells him that from a business perspective his decisions were a flop. However, in each case, Richie's debtors return the funds with interest very quickly, their fortunes having turned due to Richie's "investment".

Indexer Notes
The term "rugged" is used several times throughout the story, but the story title is "Ragged Individual". This could be a jab at Mr. Rich, who turns out not to be that rugged, or it could be simply an error.
