Reply #14: The worst advice givers are ones with money.... [View All]

[Crazy Dave]

....who give advice to the ones that don't. Not the ones who blow all their money but the ones with real life hardships, job lay-offs, pay cuts, medical bills, etc. Things that were totally out of that person's control. Things that didn't happen based on decisions or personal actions.

My dad who was in the military all his adult life and never had to worry about his next paycheck and what amount it would be. He was the worst person to borrow money from whenever I got laid off or work slowed down. Even though the money was used to feed and house his grandkids and was always paid back promptly, it only came with a long lecture. Finally we (me and the ex) decided to go to the pawn shop and borrow money instead of putting up with the bullshit.
