Struggling: Borrowing from Peter to Pay Paul!

How many times have we been in the process of getting caught up on bills, only to find out that we are now still behind. We never have enough money to cover gas, electric, cable, food, insurance, car note and medical bills. So we borrow from Peter to pay Paul by doing so, we put $50 on the gas, $100 on the electric, $85 on the cable and half on everything else. So we in turn are borrowing from one bill to pay another or from one credit card to the next. When you borrow from people to pay someone else back and you know you have no intention on paying any of them back, then you are no longer borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. You are now stealing from your friends and family members. So with that being said, don't borrow if you know you can't pay it back, or they tell you not to worry about or just ask can you have the money. In the long run, you will better off for it and you will keep your lenders in tack and your relationships will survive those moments of struggle. Just know that times are hard for everyone and we all have periods where we borrow from Peter to pay Paul, just realize that at some point we have to budget, get a second job and get up off our butts and take care of our lives and our households. And know that borrowing is only a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. Randomly Yours, Raven Storm
