Unforgettable financial crisis

Hot 1462 views. 2013-12-30 22:21 | colleagues, marriage, building, schedule, pressed


In the first years of my marriage I was under a heavy debt for house building. Moreover, during that period our pay had been always overdue by several months or even half a year. At such hard times, wife would take charge of borrowing money to cover our daily expenses. Sometimes I had to share the humiliation to seek financial aid. Once I was pressed to pay a debt ahead of schedule when I had no cash in hand. So I had to ask help from one of my close colleagues. It was at that time I began to provide room and board for some students to ease my straits.

It is through borrowing that we realize the real value of money. However, borrowing money for house building is a smart move. A house is normally a persons main asset and it appreciates in value continuously. Building materials and labor costs are constantly increasing. Had you not built your house, you would be probably paying rent to others.

I have great respect for those who help us in times of dire need. Nowadays, nobody would lend money to others. People are forced to borrow from triads or blood sucking money lenders.

Fortunately, I had paid off all my debts years ago. Now I have a self-built bungalow and an apartment and both are eighty-odd square meters. I have saved enough money for future use. The days are gone when I had no choice but to borrow money from others. But I learnt a lot from that period stricken with poverty. First, never forget those who came to my help and repay them doubly. Second, be thrifty in daily life to cut down unnecessary expenditure. Only in this way can I be guaranteed against being involved in debts. It's really disgraceful and humiliating to fail fiscally as to ask help.
