My neighbor’s friend doesn’t like money. He is a slave to money.

He got into a $240,000 debt to get married. He paid only 30% of the debt. Moved to another city with his wife and got a job that is two hours from his house.

Then he decided to get into another debt to buy a used car that gave him so many headaches that he ended up parking it in his neighbor’s garage. Because he doesn’t have a garage. He pays money every day for his car to stay there.
