Pay Your Fucking Bills!

Pay Your Fucking Bills!

I see a lot of people lately that are looking for an excuse to not pay their bills on time. (or ever?)

And I am not talking about people that have lost their jobs or income due to the coronavirus pandemic. Yes, there are a lot of people that have or will soon have serious economic problems because of the current global economy. I am not talking about them.

I am talking what can make this situation even worse for everyone.

I am talking about people or businesses that use this situation as an excuse to not pay their bills or debt on time EVEN though their have no cash flow problem now or in the foreseeable future.

Don’t be the asshole with the mansion that doesn’t pay his/her debt to the house cleaners or gardeners just because their are not using them temporarily. (Some people suggest that those who can should keep paying them but of course you can can’t force anyone to do that.) If you owe them money from last month then pay up your debt!

If you have millions in the bank than please keep paying your bills. If you don’t then this will create even further (unneeded) problems to the economy. Small businesses and independent professionals depend on these small payments to keep afloat and to not go out of business. Not yet anyway… As long as we can delay an economic crash the better. Don’t create an artificial cash flow problem to the economy.

So pay what you owe to your plumber or electrician. Pick up your dry-cleaning and settle your bill. Pay your physician/shrink his/her bill. Pay your accountant, web designer, app developer or your virtual assistant, and so on…

I am not even talking about how you can keep using as many people and services you can. If you can… You can keep using your contractors doing work to your vacation home, your can see your shrink via Skype, etc.

A guy that is buying a domain name from me with installments send me a text message and asked me to pause installments until June. I said a firm NO. I know he has money and delaying the payments will not change a damn thing to him. But it will make a change to me that I keep paying for domain renewals, hosting and various other online services.  I didn’t appreciate him asking. I think he tried to take advantage of this situation.

I don’t owe any money to anyone and always try not to. I have not asked from anyone to delay payments and I won’t until I have a serious problem.

So pay your fucking bills and stop making excuses just to play smart. If you have a few million in the bank then spending $200 today will not make any difference to you but it can make a difference to others.
