Ever had it bad?
Where they clashes?
Did you hate the person for life?
How much was involved?
What kind of venture did you go into?

I have being wrecked severally trying to help... They don't care how you sweet to earn it, all the want is just give them, worst is they come back for more, its either u give them or they guilt trap you, or blackmail you, even when you try to end the friendship they keep coming back... If I have 100 friends, more than 50 are asking for financial help, just this morning 3 chats already.

The latest scam is bro I fit get 2k till month end

Don't do it, gave someone $5000 for almost 4 years now not a cent. Although it's nothing compared to what I earn monthly, it's just the principle and the betrayal that hurts.

Remember I helped a friend fund a photography business back then and it cost me..
When I needed this guy to help another friend who is not a mutual friend, the guy was short of cash and he needed photo and video for his wedding. So I contacted this my friend although I know he is not gonna do it for free but just reduce price from 900k to 300k cos of me, alaye stopped picking my call and when this my friend called him direct, this is what he said..
**shey because he help me set up business na why he dey follow me talk nonsense abi? Shey na him train me ni?
When I no get money go training center, shey him fund me ni? Oga if you no fit pay 850k,make una Bleep off..
This was recorded..
I just laugh it off..
This is someone I got camera for, drone and screens.
And even gave him some cash because he was just starting up then..
I told myself, if am gonna help people, I will help and do my own for God but that someone will now come and start forcing my hand, na curse the person go collect.

Am versed in photography, do photobook, frame and video, you will still have enough change from that 300k

Before you fund someone business, let them start it from the scratch first.

Someone gave my friend 1m to trade Crypto because he is quite good at it.

Two weeks after buying a coin, he made a 300K profit.The person was happy. Then he bought another coin that dipped and lost 100K from the 300K profit.The person began harassing him about losing her money

I mean, the 100K that was lost was from a profit. The capital is still there with a 200K profit IN TWO WEEKS the person didn't work for. Easy money, but the 100K loss from a money that isn't technically yours yet is what you're worked up about. Greed is a sin

One thing I've learnt from my little experience in dealing with Crypto (in fact all form of investment) is to NOT BE GREEDY, be grateful for little gains and always be ready for bad days. It is okay to lose as long as it doesn't bankrupt you. 1.2m from 1m is still profit $110 from $100 is still profit.

Btw, this friend of mine started trading during last year's lockdown and he's gotten quite good at it. He recently initiated me.

If you're yet to key into the race of the moment, you should. Start off by getting tips from those experienced in the business (but don't be greedy)

One of the best ways to start off is by following this ****(check my signature) on telegram for signals for trading. I'd recommend them for crypto, stock and Forex where they have expertise.

You can join and benefit from their guidance/tips and other advance services.

Simple advice, don't trade for anyone!
The psychological stamina when trading with your money is different from when you trade with other people's money because if things go south, you can recoup it yourself but when it's other people's funds, you'll be pressured.

Hmm. Just help with what you can afford to loose, most people won't remember the good you do.

99 good + 1 bad = 100 bad.

Just like oil and water business with friends doesn't often mix, except both of you can define your business relationship clearly. Trust and Respect are the watch words.
