The Value of Money
Posted on July 18th, 2008 | by dzoi |My cousin called my today and asked if he can borrow my credit card. Apparently he maxed out all his credit cards buying air soft guns and war gears. I know all about his expenses and I’m pretty sure he needs the money to buy more air soft guns so I wasn’t really happy to loan him anything. Since he has been working for more than six months now (he graduated just last year), I told him to try applying for payday loans. This way, he won’t have the convenient excuse that he can’t pay for the loan just because he’s my favorite cousin. I believe in teaching kids (he’s 21!) the value of money that if they need to buy something, they need to work harder than usual. Besides, I know he’ll feel better in the future when he can proudly tell himself that he bought his stuff without any help from his parents and close friends.
