There’s a problem when an expert can’t explain the basics. Either he’s covering up or doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s a red flag worth heeding.
Compassion and not “tough love” is what’s required today. A close friend needs a shoulder to lean on.
When is a loan not a loan? When it hasn’t been paid back yet. Remember this when a friend hits you up for more money today.
It’s looking more and more like a certain someone can’t come through. That’s OK, but you should still collect on what they owe you.
Loved ones are overly demanding. Make a point of telling them you’re under pressure too and they’ll lighten up.
You’re reluctant to lend support, because you’re on weak footing and feel like you need to guard your own interests. Remember that giving gets you a lot in the end.
