What exactly do you tell yourself when you look in the mirror?

"That is a beautiful diamond necklace, my friends will be so jealous!"

"I deserve this, because I pushed him out of my vagina."

She sounds like a gambler. She probably told herself that she was doing it all for his own good and that she was helping him out really. Plus, look at the timeline: She probably lost all his money in the 2007 global downturn.

Ask the millions of Baby Boomers who willingly ruined the futures of their children and grandchildren in order to keep living large.

Wow, poor guy. $350,000 is a seriously nice amount of money to have at such young age.

Oh well, I'm glad he is over it and is doing well on his own.

This is as shameful as that couple whose grandkid sold their house out from under them.

This is why I don't lend money to family or friends. There's no such thing, and you'll never see it again.

I've only ever lent money to a friend once, and that was mainly buying him rounds during my birthday. He did pay me back in full at the end of the month as promised.

Not something I'd usually recommend.

Any money lent to family or friends should be (secretly) considered a gift once they have taken the money and used it. If the gift gets returned you will be surprised and happy. If not, then it probably cost you less than $50 to get rid of that person.

Edit: Of course I feel shame, so I don't spend money flagrantly until I pay them back.

This happened to me as a kid.

I worked as a baseball umpire when I was 13 years old for kids that were 11-12. It was a little weird being that close in age to the kids I was umpiring, but it was the hardest that I had worked for anything before.

My mom deposited the checks into her account since I didn't have one.

At the end of the summer I asked for the money I had made since I had simply just given her the money to hold.

She had the audacity to tell me that I had spent it all. I told her no, I gave it all to you to hold until I asked for it. She told me I had already done so and spent it. I knew she was lying because I had tracked my earnings on a piece of paper in my dresser. She owed me over 300 dollars. That is a FORTUNE to a 13 year old.

I stopped trusting my mother in money matters ever again, right there, when I was 13 years old.

This event actually really shook my ability to truly trust others in anything (who can you trust if you can't trust your moms?), and I still don't truly trust my mom without some subconscious thought telling me she's going to fuck it up or fuck me over.

That's pretty sad actually. On one hand, he should've given more thought to what he was doing and signing but on the other, this is his fucking mother! If you can't trust your own mother then that's a sad thing to endure. Good for his dad stepping up to help him clear his name.

I can't really condemn this guy because if I had that amount of money and with all the sharks that swarm events like these, I'd be liable to make a big mistake. At least in this scenario it's more understandable because it wasn't just some random shark or lapse in judgement, he lost a blood relative in the affair and better to learn the reality this way than in a more severe scenario like life or death. At least he's being upbeat and with his roots, I'm sure he could remake a living in the future.
