The Relationship Between Friendship And Finances
Old habits die hard
Often, people hold clear beliefs that they think justify financial behavior. The habit is no accident, which can make it harder to un-learn. “I have some family members who think debt is okay…not mortgage debt, but consumer debt,” says Dorsainvil. “They believe ‘When I die I can’t take it with me’ or ‘When I die, this debt is not mine.’ That’s not healthy and is not a good financial habit to have and it’s going to take some time to break that habit.”
