When my parents were alive,they were not very rich.Yet they helped their two older
time after time.When Daddy passed away,his notebook showed debts
from several of his children.I was not among them.I
borrowed money and when I did,I set a repayment plan and
to it.It was a matter of
with me.I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-mmoney because I watched them
to help out my older sisters when they were in financial difficulties themselves.
These days,after the death of my parents,I am one of those people who can be
to for help when they need it.Just as I can’t stand
other people money,I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help.I don’t

planning-like planning not to speend money they don’t have!
Being ready to help others is a

help,they will ask you more and more.That's human,you know.
