Tea with KenjiFX: 3 types of people who borrow money.

There are many types of people who borrow money (from friends and family) and here are 3 types listed by KenjiFX (AKA KenjiWealthMgt in FB):

1. People who borrow and want to repay the loan but lack the ability to do so.

2. People who borrow and never intend to repay the loan even when they have the ability to do so.

3. People who borrow continually.
For example, borrow $50, repay $20, borrow $70 later to round up outstanding loan to $100, repay $30, borrow $80 to round up outstanding loan to $150 and it goes on to a point when they really can never repay the loan in full.

Perhaps, we know some people who fall into the three categories above?

It has to be said that getting into debt is easy while getting out of debt could prove to be really difficult.

Credit Counselling Singapore (CCS) revealed the following reasons for Singaporeans having debt problems:




 49% all debtors helped by CCS blame overspending!

Tea with Kenji FX: Wealth destruction!

If we want to be wealthier, we must learn to create wealth. Unfortunately, many indulge in wealth destruction and Kenji FX tells us some of the things to avoid:

Bad:

1. Smoking.
2. Beer drinking.
3. Sponsor clubbers.
4. Cafe hopping.
5. Going after girls who will never be yours and from a different world from you.
6. Car modifications.
7. Credit card signing.

Worse:

1. Gambling, under or above table.
2. Liquor drinking.
3. Drugs.
4. Prostitution, infected with STD with medication fee.
5. Impregnate people's daughters.
6. Keep a mistress (whether you can afford it or not, as stated above).
7. Loan shark (Jaws).

Worst:

1. Putting yourself in a position where you have everything to lose, and when you cannot afford to lose and yet believe Lady Luck would be smiling on you because you are more than a mere mortal.

Wealth destruction could become a habit. Be careful.

“Whether you sniff it, smoke it, eat it or shove it up your ass, the result is the same: addiction.”
William S Burroughs.

It is far better to avoid trouble than to try and get out of trouble.

Money is hard to make and we should make it hard to lose.
