98. Thank you Blackskimmer. I lent $1000 to a fellow teacher who was crying she had no money for

Mar 2023

Christmas. I found that she was using the money to buy her kid gaming stuff. I guess I was taken. I asked for the money back, and she paid me back 50 a month. Will never forget as she got me fired after my concussion. So I only like to give money to reputable places. I thing Matt needed a person to oversee his incoming and outgoing cash flow. My husband has a trust and the trust is very specific on when he asks for money. However, what if he is right. He says he is disabled--he would not know how to manage money. I guess it's too late now to ask for a trustee to be manager. I will follow your suggestions to look further into the situation. I have a hard time wanting to believe that someone is scamming us. Or maybe I don't want to believe. Thank you for your suggestion.
