James Moore – Cold in July
For me, borrowing money from your family or friends is not bad if you have a valid reason and if you will use it properly. But I have a close cousin that always borrowed money from me. He even asked money from me because he needs to buy a medicine for his daughter or he needs to buy something and it really pisses me off.
Medicine might not upset me, but buying something for himself? Yeah….I’m not interested.
