The truth is I will probably never have enough money “stashed”
to ever loan someone enough to help them.
I am ok with that. Well, I am and
I am not, I suppose I am a little disappointed that I may never be that
financially comfortable. I wish I was. Maybe someday I will be. If I was that financially stable, I wouldn’t
be loaning someone money, I would just be giving it to them.
Money is a funny demon.
To me it is just like everything else.
If you give it away, expecting it back, then you are doing it for all
the wrong reasons. Don’t give it, if you
feel like it should be returned. It
would be incredibly hard to work that hard and give most of it away to protect
someone from a situation they should probably NOT have gotten themselves into
in the first place. Maybe I am just the
pessimist that most people think I am.
But sometimes, continuously bailing someone out, or fixing their
mistakes for them, isn’t really doing them any favors. It really is a tough call…luckily; I do not
have to worry about it because I don’t have any money to give anyone.
I have been on the receiving end of such gifts…and I made
damn sure I paid them back, or it was established prior to accepting it that I
would not be able to. I have a mental
note of everyone who has helped me along the way; it is my intention to pay
them all back someday. Will I accomplish
that? Highly doubtful, but it is my
intention.
