My friend recently borrowed £1200 off his mother because he swapped jobs, and didn't save up any money, and didn't relaise he wouldn't get paid for 6 weeks. He borrowed the money to pay his rent, bills, transport etc.
Now he has been paid. He now wants to book an expensive holiday for himself. He wants to go to the USA for two weeks.
He sees no issue with booking this holiday,a nd sees no need to pay his mother back. He says he needs this holiday, and he has to book it now to save money on the flights. So, he shouldn't have to pay his mum back yet. and he will look to pay his mum back, once he's paid for his holiday and saved up spending money. (this will take a few months)
I said to him, the decent thing to do would be, pay back mum first and then book a holiday he can actually afford.
He thinks I'm insane for saying that. TBH if you pushed him, he would go on to say that he shouldn't even have to pay his mum back.
This has nothing to do with me I know, I know.
But...AIBU for thinking he should pay his mother back first??
