This what happens when you run out of other peoples money.
ReplyDeleteWell, when you run out of money and have no income, you are what's called broke. When you are broke and still owe other people money, your are bankrupt, and those people won/t get their money, and you will get no credit any more. You have Fu*k up, and it costed people who trusted you their money.
