Is it the friend’s business? Probably not. Can we blame her? Not really.
Have you ever sat with a friend and had to listen to them rant about something in their life that just didn’t sit right with you? And the more they talked, the more you realized how out of touch they are, and how twisted their view of real life is?
We all know people like that. People whose lives are so neatly organized and planned that every small curve throws them completely off the track, and you have to explain to them that this is simply how life works. Welcome to the real world, baby.
Yet, sometimes, these people might try to do something that is not only out of touch or entitled but downright insulting or harmful to other people. That is the point when sitting still and listening to their rant is not enough, and you might feel like action must be taken. It might not be your place or your business to meddle in someone’s personal business, but if they won’t hear it from you, how are they ever going to learn?
The couple in the story below is successful homeowners of a paid-off house that never even required a mortgage. They have a lovely family and live a comfortable life, which is something their friend is very aware of. Recently, the couple told their friend that they intend to buy a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood, but that this house costs a lot more than what they would get for selling their current house. A mortgage is out of the question, which led the couple to simply list their current property for a lot more, even if it’s not worth that much.
While this is not really the friend’s business to involve herself with how much they intend to sell their house and pay for a new one, she can’t help but feel like they are exploiting potential buyers by asking for so much. She shares how tired she is of listening to her friends’ rants and complaints, and how she cannot stay silent anymore…
