  • Introduction to Video Content
  • The Taylor Swift tour has become a highly coveted event, with tickets selling for top dollar. In fact, one mother recently shared her frustration with Dear Abby after her friend sold her daughter a ticket for $900, despite the fact that the friend had only paid $300 for it. This raises the question of whether the friend should have lowered the price for her friend's daughter, or if the daughter should have refused to pay such a hefty amount. It seems that the friend took advantage of the demand for Taylor Swift tickets by charging three times the initial price. This situation begs the question: who needs loan sharks when you have friends like that? In a personal anecdote, one of the hosts recalls a time when she was in a dire financial situation and needed $10,000. A friend came to her aid, but charged her 10% interest, compared to the 5% charged by banks. While the friend did lend the money, it raises the question of why she felt the need to charge interest to someone she knew was struggling financially. The host emphasizes the importance of not assuming someone's financial situation and being considerate before charging exorbitant amounts to friends. In the end, it's clear that money can strain friendships, and it's up to individuals to navigate these situations with empathy and fairness.

  • You just don't have to deal with it.
  • Or was she,
  • Giving in to her daughter's need to see I would tell us watch a Chiefs game for free and get a full So in other words the friend the friend charges the girl three times the amount that she paid Which is what's happening with Taylor Swift tickets?

  • It shouldn't be unaffordable to go to a concert.
  • And she did exactly what all the scalpers do.
  • And Taylor Swift wouldn't have liked it for the rest.
  • I was gonna say, I don't,
  • I don't think they're true friends.
  • I mean, I probably would've just given the girl the ticket, right?
  • I would've just given the girl the ticket.
  • But if it's her ticket, she could charge whatever she wants, but I wouldn't call that a friend.
  • Me either.
  • Yeah, because even your friend could've given you rather than five percent if she wanted to make a little six percent.
  • Why jump double?
  • And this woman went three times higher on a ticket.
  • Also, nine hundred dollars for a teenager?
  • I mean, that's like, my first car cost twice that.
  • Like, that's a big amount of savings.
  • A big chunk that she charged.
  • Three hundred face value would have been a great deal.
  • I see your point, though.
  • I mean, it's like, you know.
  • I mean, it's like, listen.
  • She didn't have to give the girl, she didn't have to offer the ticket to the girl at all.
  • She didn't have it.
  • No, I'm sorry.
  • You know what?
  • If you go to people and you ask them for their help and they give you the help, and they say, this is what it's gonna cost, you either accept it or you don't.
  • Scalp it to a non friend.
  • Yeah, exactly.
  • Scalp it to a non friend.
  • But maybe the girl said, I know she has a ticket.
  • I want the time.
  • Please get me the ticket.
  • And she said, okay, this is what it's gonna cost.
  • She wanted to go to the show too.
  • But this addiction to Taylor Swift has to stop.
