How to convince someone to budget and save

[Guest]

Just do it!!!!

I think it goes along the lines of “We have rented a storage unit for your

stuff and paid the rent for 90 days. You will find your stuff there. When

you have found a place for your things, you can get them, or you can

continue to pay the rent at the storage unit (if they decide to freeload

somewhere else).”

You’d be amazed at what people are capable of when the need arises. I find

they usually arise to YOUR expectations. If you expect that this person is

very capable of being a useful citizen and self-sufficient, and communicate

this you may very well find that they are…. Maybe it’s a self-confidence

thing? If you keep treating them like a freeloader, they will remain such.
