A classmate suddenly invited me to dinner last night. He started to hang out in society after graduating from high school. He first worked as a KTV attendant. That year, his elder brother got into trouble and went to jail. He rented an office to apply for credit cards for people to earn commissions. Most of the people who applied for credit cards were people who lacked funds. So he started to lend money at high interest rates. He didn't have much cash in his hand, and he could afford to spend a few thousand to 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. His annual income was also 300,000 or 500,000 yuan. But this person is the kind of person who dares to spend 100,000 yuan if he has 10,000 yuan. He bought a Mercedes-Benz a few years ago. The couple also traveled abroad when they had nothing to do. They lived a more carefree life than anyone else. Later, he came into contact with the cryptocurrency circle and started playing contracts. I advised him that once gambling becomes addictive, it is difficult to quit. But he just smiled and said that gambling for fun, and didn't take it seriously at all.

I thought he had made a lot of money recently. Who knew that he asked me to borrow money before he finished a bottle of beer. It was quite unexpected! Looking at his dress, speech and behavior, he didn't look like a down-and-out person at all. He said that he had lent out a lot of money during the epidemic and didn't get it back, plus he lost money playing with contracts. Now he owes 880,000 yuan on his credit card, and the online loan platform is more or less close to 100,000 yuan. As he was talking, his phone rang. My classmate took a look and didn't answer it. He said that the bank was urging him again. I was very puzzled. What a cool person he used to be! He went wherever he said he would go and bought whatever he said he would buy! Why is he like this now! I exhaled and said: No more, I can only lend you 30,000 yuan. He immediately clasped his hands together and said thank you gratefully! He looked at me and said, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. Someone is talking about my house these two days, and it's almost sold! My heart thumped. Has it really reached the point of being at the end of the rope? Even the house has to be sold! He may have seen my doubts, smiled awkwardly, and bowed his head and said: There is no way! Alas... It was better to spend less in the past. I urged: Be more stable in the future! When checking out, he rushed to pay, but after fiddling with it for a long time, he blushed and whispered to me: Why doesn't this place support Huabei? I said forget it, I'll do it! When we walked out of the restaurant, he said he would call a taxi to take me back. I said I could just walk! You can save some money! He smiled a little ashamedly and said: I'll ride a shared bike. I saw him wearing branded clothes and riding away clumsily.I can't help but sigh, life is so unpredictable, work hard! Old classmate $ETH
