Well, well, well, look what we got here. Is it okay for a man to ask for money? Hmmm, that’s a tough one, ain’t it? I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this the other day. Some say it ain’t right, some say it depends. Let me tell you what this old lady thinks. It all boils down to why he’s askin’ and who he’s askin’ from. And how much money! These all important! Is it okay for a man to ask for money? Maybe!
First off, if a man’s askin’ his own wife for money, well, that’s a different story. They’re supposed to be partners, right? Share and share alike, that’s what I always say. If she got a job and he don’t, or if he lost his job, then yeah, maybe it’s okay. Just gotta keep things even, you know? Like, you need money to buy food. He need money to buy food. No problem.
Now, if a man is askin’ a woman he just met for money, uh-uh, honey. That’s a big ol’ red flag. Like a big, bright, shiny stop sign. Why’s he needin’ money from someone he barely knows? Sounds fishy to me. Maybe he got debts. Maybe he got no money. Maybe he wanna buy something bad. You don’t know! You just met!
Is it okay for a man to ask for money from his girlfriend? If they been together a while, and they trust each other, then maybe. But still, gotta be careful. Money can mess things up real quick, even in the best relationships. You need to make sure everyone know where the money is going.
- If a man’s always askin’ for money, somethin’ ain’t right.
- If he gets mad when you say no, that’s a problem.
- If he never pays you back, well, that’s just plain rude. And he broke! He broke and he never gonna be not broke!
Here’s the thing about money, it makes people act funny. Sometimes it brings out the worst in folks. You gotta be smart about it. You gotta be strong. You don’t be givin’ money to no man you don’t know well. Don’t be givin’ no money to no one if you are broke!
Another thing, if a man’s askin’ his mama for money, well, that depends too. Is he a grown man with a job? Then why’s he needin’ his mama’s money? Is he a little boy who just need a little help? Maybe, but he better be payin’ her back! If he’s just a kid, then sure, maybe his mama can help him out. But even then, he needs to learn the value of a dollar. Ain’t nothin’ free in this world, except maybe a good hug from your grandma, if you lucky. Hehe.
If a man askin’ his friend for money? That is no good. Friend don’t let friend ask for money. No! You go to bank, or somethin’. Don’t be askin’ your buddy for cash. That just puts everyone in a bad spot.
Is it okay for a man to ask for money from a stranger? Absolutely not! Don’t even think about it. That’s how people get scammed. You don’t know that man. He could be a crook. He could be a liar. He could be anything! Keep your money in your pocket and walk away. Fast.
Listen, here’s the bottom line. If a man’s askin’ for money, you gotta use your head. Think about it real good. Why does he need it? Can he pay it back? Do you trust him? How much money? These all important!
If you got a bad feelin’ in your gut, listen to it. That’s your intuition talkin’ to you. It’s usually right. Don’t be afraid to say no. It’s your money, and you get to decide what to do with it. Ain’t nobody else’s business. Is he gonna get mad? Oh well!
Here some more thing you should think about, if a man is askin’ for money:
- Is it okay for a man to ask for money? Only if he really, really needs it. Like for food, or a place to sleep.
- Is he tryin’ to better himself? Is he tryin’ to get a job? Is he workin’? These matter.
- Is he honest? Does he tell the truth? Or is he always makin’ up stories? You don’t want no man always makin’ up stories about money!
Now, I ain’t sayin’ all men who ask for money are bad. Sometimes good people fall on hard times. It happens. Life’s tough. But you still gotta be careful. You gotta protect yourself. And you gotta make sure you ain’t bein’ taken advantage of.
So, is it okay for a man to ask for money? Maybe. Sometimes. It depends. Just remember to use your common sense, and don’t be afraid to say no. And if you do lend money, make sure you can afford to lose it. ‘Cause there’s always a chance you ain’t gettin’ it back. That a risk you take.
Alright, that’s enough from me. I’m gonna go make myself a cup of tea. And maybe count my pennies. Just in case. You never know when you might need ’em. These days, you never know.
