Take your money and run.... the other way that is!
Hi everyone I am giving you some advice I wish I had learned a long time ago. Don't let a friend take advantage of you, sounds pretty simple Right? Well I am here to tell you it is not as easy as you think. Scenario 1: Enter left stage your friend (or the Psycho as you will soon find out.) Me: Hi friend what's new? Friend: Nothing can I borrow 300 bucks? Me: (Pondering this question) Ummm well I am sorta broke, why do you need 300 bucks? Friend: I am too (but my needs are more important so I will make you feel like sh*t until you say yes) I spent all my money on ….fill in the blank and now I can't afford my electric, water, food (you name it) Me: (with the big S for sucker on my forehead) well I guess I can lend it to you but when can you pay me back? I mean if you need the money won’t you be short again when you pay me? (now in my head I should have known the answer to that one But…) Friend: I promise I will be able to pay you in the next two weeks. Me: Ok here...
