Yesterday I was chatting with a friend that I haven't seen or talked for a while. In the beginning, it was all cool, but then... Typical me... .____." I was talking about money with her and she has problem with her little brother who finished high school a year ago and he haven't gone back to school yet or he's not planning to go anytime soon, he doesn't even pay part of their home expense, all he pays is the internet and one third of the cable, that's all. He doesn't work that much, only do part-time, he told her sister that he doesn't want to work too hard in anything, so she was pissed at him...
I was trying to help her with her money and trying to make her little brother pay part of the bill, so I suggest cutting off the internet and the cable, to make him help pay a part of the bill, but then there's a lot of but but but from her, so I was like okay then, you need to make sacrifices sometimes... Then she got all mad at me and she acted all piss, and I told her that I'll back off... She don't need my help. After a few no money conversation, everything was alright at the end...
Never ever going to talk money with a friend or anybody again... Everyone seems to know what they're doing with their money, then I'll back off. I should wait till I have more experience in the future, I have no right to talk with people who don't need my help in the first place. It can bring a bad side of them... Creepy. I wonder if I'll experience this when I become a Financial advisor... Yeah, I should prepare for it.
Money is a taboo subject
