Some people just don't get it. Before you can take responsibility for others, you must take responsibility for yourself. Wala lang. I just thought about it after a not-so-good incident happened.
Am not going into details here but I'll vent anyway. Well, some people think that their relatives or friends will just pop out of nowhere to lend them a helping hand. It can happen, once, twice but you can't do that forever. DUH!
Am not being negative here, just pointing out the obvious. It's not bad to have debts, what's bad is to make other people responsible in paying them. It will catch up on you, believe me. Sooner rather than later.

Have You Found Your Financial Soulmate?
My parents both didn't finish college but managed to send us, four children, to get our respective degrees (yes even though the youngest took 6 years to get his...hahahaha). They also acquired a house in the city and small farm in my grandma's hometown. Not bad. Actually it was good. My father didn't mind not getting his inheritance (rice fields and residential lots) from his grandparents and parents. You know how things go with inheritance, right? Some siblings just get greedy. But that is another story.
Then I read this article about finding your financial soul mate (and in turn acquiring your most valuable asset) and realized that my parents aside from being in love and devoted to each other (they're celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary May next year) are also compatible when it comes to money matters. My mother is my father's greatest asset. Aside from her obvious physical beauty, she's also a financial wizard. Must be because she's part Chinese. Hahahahaha.
The article by Tara Siegel Bernard entitled "The Key to Wedded Bliss? Money Matters" published in The New York Times goes like this:
"Marrying a person who shares your attitudes about money might just be the smartest financial decision you will ever make. In fact, when it comes to finances, your marriage is likely to be your most valuable asset — or your largest liability."
