.......Basically, what I'm tryna say is, do you have $5 I can borrow???

OK so I get that our economy is in total disarray. Hell, I use the recession as an excuse for everything. (No I do not have time to explain to you why that is. WE'RE IN A RECESSON!!!)

I'm straying from my point. Times are hard for everyone so now, more than ever, people should live within their means and exercise good financial common sense. This may mean that instead of paying to go out every weekend, you stay your @$$ home and only go out once or twice a month. This may mean you eliminate unnecessary expenses. (I done went and downgraded my cable since my TV watches me more than I watch it.)

But here's the $#!T that has me mad........

Why do people borrow money that they do not intend to pay back? Or borrow money and make you have to chase them down to get it back? And an even worse offense is when they tell you that they're going to pay you back and act like they forget.

I have 2 good friends that are unemployed and they both have people owing them substantial amounts of money. Let's make a new rule: IF YOU HAVE A JOB, DO NOT BORROW MONEY FROM A PERSON WHO DOES NOT. This should only be done in extenuating circumstances. If you do borrow money from them, don't make them have to chase you down to get their ish back....that's just disrespectful.

It also pisses me off when someone owes you money and they know they do so they avoid you like the plague.....they don't answer your phone calls. When you see them, they pretend that they don't see you. How cowardly is that?!?!?! Its like yo...do you think I'm gonna break your thumbs or shatter your kneecaps or something? Get real!!! It's really sad because there are a lot of people that feel like the world and everybody in it owes them something. This brings me to my phrase of the week.

FALSE SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.

I believe in karma. What goes around comes back around. When one has a false sense of entitlement and/or take people's kindness for weakness, there's a very dark, cloudy, negative energy that they put out into the world. Why would a someone want to do that to someone who, out of the kindness of their heart, is trying to help them. I would make the assertion that no one wants anything negative like that to come back on them.

With that being said, people should get their minds right and stop taking advantage of folks.
