1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: All right, this is from EJ on Steve HARVEFM. EJ says, 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: I've never been I was never the cool kid. But 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: now that I've done well for myself financially, I've become 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: pretty popular. I don't mind treating my friends now and then, 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: but it's starting to feel like I'm only invited because 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: I pick up the check. I still want to be generous, 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: just not taken for granted. How do you know if 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: people like you for you or just for the perks 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: you bring? 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: Well, if they didn't like you before, why do they 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: like you all of a sudden? That's an easy one, 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: you know, if they didn't like you before, now all 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: of a sudden they like you. You do the man, 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: what's the change? You got money now. 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: He said, that's all. 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: It ain't hard to figure out. You really got to 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: figure it out yourself. Yeah, Now what you need is 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: a new set of friends. That's all. Everybody come with 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: you can't go with you, and you keep going down 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: there picking up the checking all that. You don't have 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: to do that, but you're doing that because it makes 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: you feel good to a degree too. But now they 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: taken advantage of it, and that's where you gotta be careful, okay, 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 2: all right? So yeah, that is because you got money. 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: Now you do the math. 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, great advice. We have time for another one. 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: This is from Devon Dewan on Steve HARVFM. Dewan says, 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: what should have been a great road trip over the 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: weekend with my girlfriend and her son has turned out 30 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: to be just that a trip. I can't seem to 31 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: get on the right side of things. I rented a 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: room in a car and took three of us to 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: an airbnb about six hours away. I thought it was cool, 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: but unbeknownst to me, there was some animosity because I 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't let her son drive the car. It wasn't personal. 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: I was the only one signed on to the rental car, 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: and he's still under twenty five, so he wouldn't have 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: been allowed to drive it. I'm sure he's more than capable, 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: but I didn't want the liability in case something did 40 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: happen while he was behind the wheel. My girlfriend now 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: thinks that I have quote something against her son, and 42 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: neither of them are talking to me. Is there anything 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: other than time I can get I can do to 44 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: get past this. 45 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: Now, all you gotta do is tell him what you 46 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: just told us? Yeah, now what stupid person don't understand that? 47 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: And that's really real? About that under twenty five with 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: the middle car? Really real, that's really real. And if 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 2: a person don't understand. 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: That, he's twenty something on a trip with his mom 51 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: and what would take him? Yeah, you can't go Toppy? 52 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: What is he going with them for that? I don't 53 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: get that at all? Yeah, and he wants to drive 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: the car. He sounds like a brat. Yeah, and they 55 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: don't understand that liability and all that stuff. Yeah, nobody 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: paying for this car like that? Right? What would you 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: have done?
