“My parents passed within a year of each other. They were very smart with money, so my brother and I are well taken care of. I also inherited their home, which is fully paid off, so I only have property taxes to worry about. The negative thing I have seen is now people want to take advantage of my windfall. I have a roommate who lives with me who feels they should not have to pay any of the bills due to my financial situation.”
“People who I haven’t spoken to have asked me to borrow large amounts of money or help them co-sign for their loans. These are people who used me in the past and sometimes left me in a worse position than before I helped them.
I have learned quite quickly who to trust and who not to trust. My circle of friends has shrunk a lot since all of this, and I have been keeping to myself. Money does crazy things to people, even the people I thought I knew and trusted.”
