I was furious with that cousin who used to ask me for five thousand when I was a freshman. ( she was 27 at that time)Not only did she constantly complain to me, but she also asked my parents to be guarantors for her house loan. I knew that if she couldn't make the payments, my parents would have to step in, or their credit would be affected. Typically, a bank asks for guarantors when they don't believe the borrower can repay the loan on their own. What was she thinking, putting my middle-aged parents in a position to cover her loan?
