6 Horror Stories That Will Remind You To Never Co-Sign A Loan
1. Last summer I cosigned on a car loan for a then-friend. I have heard the “you idiot” speech from every imaginable source, so please spare me that. Long story short, he lost his high-paying job a few months after that out of nowhere, with no warning and no reason given to me.

“I feel like my boyfriend’s mother”
I (24F) have been dating my boyfriend (23M) for almost 2.5 years now. At the very beginning, things were perfect. He loved spending time with me, we could talk about anything, and overall enjoyed each other’s company (as you should in a relationship).
However, within the last 9ish months, I’ve felt like more of a mother than a girlfriend. I’ve had to clean his bathroom, bedroom, do his laundry, pick up his trash he’s left around the house, even remind him to brush his teeth!

What Does it Mean To Be a Person of Character?
Folks, let’s talk about character. It’s not just some fancy word we throw around – it’s the very core of who we are and how we show up in this world.
Being a person of character means you’re the same person in the dark as you are in the light. It’s about integrity, consistency, and living by a set of values that doesn’t change based on who’s watching or what you might gain.

“Father asked to borrow $6,000”
My father has been in debt all his life, due to an old gambling addiction and from getting cheated of money. He no longer has that addiction however he is still constantly in debt.
Recently due to an incident which caused huge expenses for him, he’s asked me for $6000. I do not want to loan him, however it makes me feel that guilt of not fulfilling my role as a daughter if I do not loan him. Moreover, he mentioned his alternative is to take a bank loan which has higher interest. I’m really afraid that it will be the start of another vicious cycle.
“Girlfriend wants me to buy her a 6 figure car”
I (24M) am dating a woman (26F) who we’ll refer to as A. For some context I drive a 2019 Nissan GT-R. It was my dream car growing up and I told myself when I “made it” and made enough to afford it financially and not have it be everything in my bank account.
I work a job making close to 6 figures and I’ve learn to invest in stocks and crypto I’ve made some good money but of course stocks and crypto are never promised and could crumble tomorrow.
