The tale of the ... zombies

When my family gets money in their hands, they become zombies. Their eyes glaze over and they lose their common sense. No thought is given to their bills or financial obligations, they just spend, spend, spend. Don't think about tomorrow when you can spend today. When their money is all gone, they head to the phone and call me. "I can't make my car payment. I don't have enough for the rent! Help, I love you; can you loan me some money? I don't know what I'm going to do if you don't help me." They're not bloodsuckers, but they're money suckers!
-- Sheila P.
