  Speaker 2: Let's like go to a concert. Let's get our nails done.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Let's take a trip. And I'm just like, that stuff
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: adds up. Like I can't casually drop like $ 300 on
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: concert tickets every other weekend.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Right. No, of course, especially right now, everything's so expensive.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You got to sit.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You got to plan everything out that you're going to spend. It's,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it's hard out here right now. So, so you pretend
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: like you're broke so you don't have to hang out
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: or how do you, why do you do it?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like, okay. So like a year ago I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: started telling her like, you know, you know, I, I can't, I'm,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm struggling right now. And you know, think times are tough,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: but because she has money, like she'll just immediately say like, Oh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. I got you. Oh, and Oh,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: do you let her go? Uh-huh.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You let her pay for stuff?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: She's paid for my nails, like dinners, concert shopping. Really?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So you're saying it because you're saying I'm broke, so
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: she'll just go ahead and go, girl, I got it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Just a couple hundred bucks.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well, that wasn't the plan. I just thought she would
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: kind of like ease up and realize like we're not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in the same tax bracket. Right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It kind of backfired but a few months ago I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: took it way too far my okay so first like
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a little backstory my my dad got pretty sick and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: he was dealing with some medical issues and like thankfully
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: he has really good insurance and financially you know he's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: he's okay he's fine okay but my friend asked if
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I wanted to go to Cabo with her and I
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: didn't want to spend the money so I told her
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like you know I can't with everything going on with
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: my dad. I just basically said I've been helping my
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: parents with medical bills and stuff like that, which was
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a complete lie.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But your dad is sick. He is unfortunately sick.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: He is sick.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, got it. Sorry to hear that. So you tell
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: her you can't because you've got to help with medical
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: bills and stuff.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But then a couple of weeks later, she like
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: randomly comes over to my house and she wanted to talk.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And then she handed me a check for like five
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. What?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: To help?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. She said, like, you know, like, I know you've
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: been stressed about your dad and like you can use
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: this for, you know, medical bills or like whatever your
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: family needs.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That is so sweet.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Very sweet.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I know. And I started crying because it was literally
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: one of the nicest things anybody has ever done for me.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But also, I knew I was full of crap.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And so I almost told her the truth, but I didn't.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let me ask you this. And I'm going to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: just be honest. Oh, God. Did you take the check
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and cash it?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I took the check. Oh!
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I know. I know. I know how bad it sounds.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: My sister. In my head, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, like,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: her family's so wealthy. Like, $ 5, 000 is probably like $ 20. Wow.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? For a normal person.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You were justifying it to yourself. And you're right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, she thinks she's given that $ 5, 000. Yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: she thinks she's giving that $ 5, 000 to help your family,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: which is incredibly sweet. What a great friend to do that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Whether she has money or not, you can't expect people
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So that was very nice of her. No, no. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: then you take the money and you're like, now I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: got money for Cabo.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I couldn't give it to my dad because he'd be
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: so pissed that, like, I was going around telling people
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I'm broke and, like, paying his medical bills. Yeah. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: told my friend that my dad is really prideful and, like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: probably wouldn't accept the money directly, but that I gave
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it to my mom because, like, she handles all their bills.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And that's obviously a lie.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So another lie.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I still have, like, one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Another one.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I still have most of the money.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do. Okay. What are you going to spend it?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like you got to do something nice or
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: good with it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I did. I actually, okay. So I did get him
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a really nice recliner. So he can be like comfortable
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: at home while he's recovering. Oh, so he went towards him. Okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Did you go to Goodwill to get it? Yeah. No.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: No. Brand new. Brand new.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Brand new recliner. Well, that's nice. So you did pay
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it forward, kind of. Wow. Good confession. That is a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: good secret. I mean, you're riding a very shady, blurred,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ethical line here.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Right. You know?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's eating me up a little bit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: What a good friend. Don't lose her, though. I mean,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not just because she's rich, but she has a... Big heart.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Rich with a big heart. You don't get that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: very often.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: No, I've been looking for it for years.
