How To Borrow Money And Make The Owner Forget |
Introduction:
Ah, money. The root of all...well, not exactly all good, but definitely a root of some major headaches. We've all been there: staring at a bill that rivals the national debt, wondering if selling your slightly-used sock collection on [online marketplace] is a viable option. It's in these moments of financial desperation that the age-old question arises: how do I borrow money and never have to think about it again?
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.![]()
Method 1: The Amnesia Amnesia
This method involves a highly scientific approach. Simply convince the lender that they've already been repaid. Bake them some delicious cookies (bribery is key!), casually mention a "huge" financial windfall you recently received (don't mention the winning lottery ticket is from a fictional game show), and act completely bewildered when they bring up the loan.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.![]()
Word of caution: This method has a 99.99999% chance of backfiring spectacularly, potentially involving lawyers, angry relatives, and a lifetime supply of guilt.
Method 2: The Strategic Relocation
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.![]()
Disappearing acts are a classic for a reason! Pack your bags (don't forget the slightly-used sock collection!), hop on a plane to a remote island with limited internet access, and change your identity. Become "Miguel, the coconut vendor," and live a life of tropical bliss, conveniently forgetting about your financial woes (and responsibilities).
Important note: This method, while undeniably appealing, comes with the minor inconvenience of being completely illegal and potentially landing you on a not-so-tropical island with much less pleasant company.
Method 3: The Power of Positive Thinking
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.![]()
This method is all about mind over matter. Simply believe with every fiber of your being that the loan never existed. Chant positive affirmations daily, visualize yourself rolling in a Scrooge McDuck money bin, and repeat after me: "I am debt-free, and this loan is a figment of my imagination!"
Side effects may include: living in denial, potential hallucinations of aforementioned money bin, and the very real possibility of the lender reminding you, in no uncertain terms, that the loan is very real.
Conclusion:
As you can see, these methods are completely unreliable and should never be used in a serious situation. Borrowing money requires honesty, responsibility, and a clear repayment plan. If you're facing financial difficulties, communicate openly with the lender, explore responsible borrowing options, and remember, sometimes the best way to "make the owner forget" is to simply pay them back.
P.S. If you're still reading and genuinely looking for advice, ditch this guide and head straight to a financial advisor. They might not offer delicious cookies, but they'll definitely offer much more helpful suggestions.
