Fiscal Responsibility -- You owe to yourself Part1 in a series

(I'm feeling annoyed)

This will hopefully be a series of short blogs about some of the things that I would hope most people would already know. I have found in my experience that sometimes the obvious needs to be stated or in this case written.

Giving money to people you meet online is never cool no matter the circumstances.

This may sound obvious to most, but I am not so sure anymore. I am not talking about the spam we've all received over the years asking for money with the promise of a great return or some fortune in a third world country tied up in legal procedings that you can help...blah blah blah. I am talking about the con artists that are out there at this very moment pretending to be your friend. If you have met anyone on the internet and made friends with them and they ask you for money, even though you think you know them, and their circumstances seem dire, DO NOT send them anything. No matter how much you think you know this person, they are not what they seem to be. Politely tell them, I am sorry but i just cannot do that. Ask yourself, would you ask an "e-friend" for money if you were stuck? I myself have never been hit up for cash by anyone I have involved myself with. I would be extremely irresponsible to my family and myself if I were to do what at the time may seem like the right thing to do and send cash to that person. This site is no different than any other website out there. The people you consider friends are only a minute representation of what they really are. Look, I'm not trying to preach here, and if you know me, well thats kind of funny to read. Seriously though, there should never be a reason to be asked for money by friends on live video. If this has happened to you, you really need to examine this friendship. If you are reading this and saying to yourself "no shit", then fantastic. If you've been asked and given, do not feel ashamed either. A con-artist is exactly that, an artist. They will go to extreme lengths, waiting patiently, building confidence (hence the old label "confidence man") in you.Just realize it was a mistake and never repeat it. You were had, and that "friend" has no respect for you, even though i am sure you were thanked profusely.

Like I said already, under no circumstances should anyone ever ask you for money. Under no circumstances should you ever give it.

Part 2 coming soon "Pay your fucking bills" Again the obvious....but maybe not so anger provoking.
