Thank God

January 2nd, 2012 at 09:58 pm

Yesterday we spent New Year's at my BF's grandmother's house and the conversation was " A Grown Folks" conversation, so we called it...lol

Any way his cousin which I look up to, said to him (my BF) that he wastes a lot money and that he needs to consider his future. I was like Thank God . As the conversation went on, his cousin also told him that he needs to be mindful of what he teaches his kids, and that buying 7 pairs of tennis shoes for back to school was ridiculous. "Amen!" was all I a could say. His response was that he had a fetish for shoes, the cousin's response was "So that is what you teach your children?" "What happens when you can't afford it or when they get older" His cousin also told him he should be teaching his children the value of money. Whew! I have been saying this for the longest, but we really hadn't had a serious conversation about it.

I am hoping that he took something away from the conversation. I however; plan on having a serious conversation with him soon.

    Sounds like he had a really good "grown-up" conversation. Sometimes it is good to hear from somebody else other than significant other. Good luck talking to your BF.

    Wow, your cousin is certainly ballsy. It's good he heard it from someone other than you ... although he is probably wondering where cousin got the info from ... Do your bf and cousin have a relationship where cousin discussing opinions about bf's spending habits is appropriate (or was this more of something that came about due to an unrelated conversation?)

    I hope the advice sunk in...how old is your bf? Has he had bad money habits all his life?
