A friend of mine once told me that his engaged girlfriend in another city needed $800 to fix her car.
"She'll pay me back", he said.
"Not only will she not pay you back", I told him, "but she won't even answer your calls"

I said, "Give her what you can afford to loose, but not all $800"

He didn't, he sent the whole thing.

She didn't answer his calls for six months, to breaK up.
She didn't even mention the $800, either, but she did say she had a different car.

Since she didn't actually benefit from the loan, she decided it never happened.

somehow some people think the debt become invalid if you don`t feel like paying for it.
I`ve actually seen this happen alot
there a reason some people are always in financial trouble.
that thinking is quite common amoung those folks.

I`ll bet money she owes alot more from other debts.

I am pretty sure that this is true as well.

On the whole, most Americans don't understand money, at least as something that produces more money: they only know you can spend it.
Women hardly ever understand money. If they do, they tend to be too chicken to be able to judge risk/return logically.

I suspect that the difference is more due to the roles of the sexes in US society than anything innate.

Janet Brown, at the DAL Investment Co., is certainly an exception.
