This will be quick. I have had a good life. A real good life. I listen to my siblings and mother talk about how they are always giving loans to almost anyone they know. I have never taken a loan from anyone except the bank. I have never borrowed money from my mother or father or my siblings even when I did not have a job and a place to live.
This was when I was in my late teens early twenties.
Now why am I telling you this? You are asking yourself.
Well for starters my mum was complaining or telling us yesterday of a friend who would get rice from our shop a long time ago on credit every week and then not come see her any more and had never been paid back.
My reaction? Well is that the reason we had to close the shop? Her response was she would rather people were still talking t her as opposed to earning from the shop we were all needing to thrive. I told her she was the reason we failed it, but to her she was ok with it since the people that never paid her at all were still talking to her. She would rather be social than be rich or at the very least financially free and have the money to feed her thirteen kids.
I couldn't help myself but shame her to her face because I think she did not give her kids the boost to get ahead in life.
Oh she says its the christian thing to do, well mentioning it in the future and ranting or at the very least gossip about it is very un christian. She is not perfect but the bad thing about it she still does the same shit to this day.
Now the lesson for me is... no loans from me... ask me for a loan... lose me forever... I don't give a shit... you could be a close friend to me but I will never loan you money... I'll give you money if I see you need it without you asking me for it... but never will I ever do it and never will I ever do it from anyone...
