When I married David, my so called friends decided that all the effort and time he put into his well paid career should benefit them! Let's see...I'm trying to remember the amount of money I "loaned" to good friends. Right around 10,000! David says to not loan money but give it and not expect it back. I'm somewhat resentful. I'm a giving person and want to help others but one person paid me back with a bad check and never contacted me again. And, he was a minister. That really hurt.

I now give of my time and energy. Money is only fleeting anyway.
