Its not to do with being rich or poor. Its about paying your way and paying your debts. This is a woman that shit all over me and cannot even pay off 250. Its a credibility issue. She would rather buy flowers than pay Gonzo what she owes. That sucks. Or do you think its ok to do that?

I don't know the story behind the $250, so I do not have a real strong opinion on it. I don't know how/if Gonzo got screwed and I don't know what role Peaches played in it so.

I was raised with the idea and I fully agree with it that if you incur a debt you pay it.

But I have also dealt with friends and family enough that if I lend someone money, I write it off the books right there and then. That way I don't walk around pissed off at friends and instead, on those times that I do get paid back, it is a pleasant surprise.

My standard for my own behaviour is way higher than the standard I expect from the rest of the world most of the time.
