“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. –Proverbs 22:7
Most financial blogs focus on the evils of credit. However, these bloggers are only writing from the perspective of the borrower. As long as you are honest in your lending and do not try to take advantage of others, then [...]
