A man shared a story online which shows the extent that people will do just to “fit in” with other friends.
Sometimes, people take things too seriously and the term “face” is often overrated.
Here is the story:
I have this friend known as the king of credit card rolling, from the outside he looks like he got money but deep down he is very poor.
He drinks every day and asks people to drink with him to show that he has “spending power”. The problem is, that he does not have spending power, his credit card is always at the limit and sometimes even exceeds the amount.
He claims that he is working in a senior position in a company and has a high salary, but the fact is, it does not matter if he is making $1,000 or $10,000 a month. The way he spends money is like money grows on trees.
From month to month he will survive by making minimum credit card payments + interest. To be honest it does not concern me.
But every now and then he will cycle among our clique and ask us to borrow him $50 so he can afford lunch the next day, this has going on for years and it’s really getting annoying.
In another words, he has no cash and zero savings and survives from month to month with his credit card.
To be living on a high is his dream, no matter how fake it is. He just wants to show off.
