Give Me A Loan Today!

When he borrowed money yesterday afternoon his wife cheered, “we’ll get that new car pretty soon!” They danced in a circle then fell to the floor “hey maybe they can loan us just a little bit more!” We need new appliances and a trip to France! lets ask the bank for another loan in advance They got all their money fast and on time and it took only 3 months to spend every dime When the statement came in, with the money all gone they thought, “gheesh, that sure didn’t take very long” NOW how would they pay off that high interest debt? then remembered they have one big credit card left “we’ll take from Peter to pay off Paul” until we can finally pay it off all… they searched and searched until they found a new lender who said, “we don’t care that you’re a big spender” They breathed a sigh of temporary relief, promised it was time to turn over a new leaf “Financial Responsibility”, was their latest motto an example to set for their children to follow No more cars, toys, games or unnecessary things, no more computers, tools, or fake diamond rings, no more trips, furniture, flooring, or nights out, they stayed home they were disciplined they took the honorable route Four years have passed with their debt fully paid and now they’ve decided to sell their home and upgrade They called their bank to qualify for another home loan and were approved in five minutes, right there on the phone. What is the moral of this loan moaner tale? “Our bad habits can change, we aren’t destined to fail, with our life back on track, we can relax and exhale”.
