I don`t want to know how much you make or have but if you lost your income today could you at least see out the month?And how long after that?
I`m asking because the other night there was a chick whining about how she suddenly had to go back home and didn`t have the money for a plane ticket so she got he parents to organize the fare.On top of that she didn`t even have the money to pay her phone bill before she left.On top of all this her credit card was maxed out.
She is back now and complaining that she can`t get a mobile because of a bad credit record.She claims her friend "tried" to pay the bill for her but couldn`t.
I called BSs on that.You don`t try to pay a bill.If you owe money they will take it no ifs buts or maybes.
She had been here for almost 3 years working until that time and yet had no back up cash.I pissed her off when I spoke my mind.I kinda said "WTF!Be a be scout - be prepared!".She came back with all this crap about how I don`t know her or her situation blah blah blah and how sh#t happens".I agreed that sh#t happens so all the more reason to be prepared.
One older guy in the group agreed and told her living day to day is just not the way to live.
Apart from her i have met so many deadbeats who work consistently but are always broke,always in debt and always have people chasing them up for cash and always borrowing money.The biggest deadbeats I know (2 blokes) have been here working for 14 years and have nothing to show.The married guys,students etc. who are in the toughest situations always seem to make do but not these people.
Especially living in a foreign country you need at least an air fare home and enough cash to wind things up.
I did apologize to her for my tone of voice but stood firm on what I said.I hear this a lot and honestly am a bit sick of it when you try to go out and have a good time and there is someone whose wining and penny pinching spoil the night.
