Managing finances properly is key to our financial life, which is well known to each of us, I guess. I feel like this is in my bones so sometimes I make some decisions subconsciously. I recently ran into a situation where I found myself really awkward. Last July or August(I can't remember that clearly), one of my extended family cousin asked me for three thousand dollars as he lost his job and could not pay off his loans. I refuse to lend him the money cause I knew him well that he was not a solid trustworthy guy. A few days ago we met on a family reunion occasion and he did not really talk to me and I suddenly realized that it was because I didn't lend him money last year. I think about it twice and if he had not been that untrustworthy, I would have definitely lent him the money. Anyway, I hope he is doing fine now and best wishes to him.
Everyone needs money. It is difficult to move even a step without money. As money can help people a lot, this money also breaks the relationship of people also destroy family relationship. There are thousands of people just like you who have already ruined relationships with money. Those with whom we used to talk everyday by phone call before the money transaction, after lending the money, now they do not receive the phone of the loan provider. Not only that if that money is asked some times their negative comments are also heard. If the loan is not given, the relationship deteriorates temporarily. But after giving the loan, the relationship is lost for a long time.
