Do you know any people who complain constantly about needing money?

If they can afford a cruise, they can afford food. And if they can afford an expensive cell phone, they can afford food. I have a really cheep cell phone. It's one of the cheapest I could find. I might have been able to find one 5% less, but not more than that. I also do the pay as you go plan. I try to keep it under $25 every few months.

LOL...I'm thinking your not such a bad person....your an honest one and goodness knows there needs to be more of that..lol. I save too..If I want to go on a vacation or trip.. I spend the whole year before putting back just for that...That way that's not the only thing I'm saving for.

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I can't afford to take a cruise, but I have tons more money than some of these people. What I have I hang onto, cause I worked hard to get it. They don't care. If they get just enough to do something, they do it without worrying over paying the bills. After all, someone else will cover it cause they'll feel sorry for them. It's so frustrating! I'd like to shake them and slap them a few times. Now when some of those ask me for money, I tell them "Oh, I'm so sorry you don't have money to buy food. Guess you shouldn't have gone on that cruise. Hey! Now you can lose the weight you gained!" Have I mentioned I'm not a very nice person?

Me too. Those sort of people just can't understand the concept of doing without. It's all about, "If I want it, I shouldn't have to wait for it. I'll get it cause I deserve it." Makes it hard on those around them!

I gave this woman 2 nice sets of my old dishes because she was complaining about not having any. 6 months later she goes out and buys a set. She didn't NEED them. I feel like asking her for mine back, but she had chipped half of them. And besides once a gift is given it's hers to do with as she wants.

Isn't that infuriating? You give something, thinking you're actually helping, and they turn around and act like it's not good enough. I gave a friend a nice mattress. It was a couple years old, but it was a queen size mattress, bought top of the line. Cost us a pretty penny! She put it on the floor, complained about it not giving her enough support, then a couple week's later bought a brand new king-size top of the line bed, with all the matching furniture set. She's still paying that bed off, years later. And complaining about not having enough money. ??? Ok. Last time I give her anything. We could have used that bed a few times over!

oh well, I wonder if he's getting something out of it... I'm always suspicious of things like that

That's the kicker. She's been fired a few times, but she goes and begs for her job back. He feels sorry for her, hires her, and she starts missing all over again. Such a doofus!!

Isn't it disgusting? It's fine and dandy for someone else to do their work, but heaven forbid they should help someone else. It's just not right! They feel like they should have whatever they want, but not have to do anything for anyone else. A butt-e indeed!

Aren't they frustrating?! My daughter has a friend like that. She has a cell phone and car, but quits her jobs almost as soon as she gets them. They interfere with her party life! She used to ask my girl for money, and mine would get her groceries. But she finally got tired of always being asked, and having to work all week long while party-girl got wasted every night. The friendship is still there, but mine put her foot down about money. And she's quite verbal about the other one not having a job or quitting. Hasn't done any good, but it does keep the other one from asking anymore. As long as you'll keep loaning, she'll keep asking. That's the way those kind are made. I feel for ya. I really do.
