Do Unto Others
Hubby’s cousin has been staying with us for a few weeks now. He was living with his parents about an hour and a half from here, but came up to try and make some money. The original plan was to help Hubby with his side jobs, but as it turned out, they haven’t been as steady as he thought they were going to be. So he started looking for a job.
One of Hubby’s clients is another cousin, who is a bank vice president. He hadn’t really associated much with that part of the family until the guy called and asked him to do some work for him, but as we’ve found out, he’s a really nice guy. When he found out about the other cousin’s situation, he called him up and asked him to come to the bank and talk to him. He asked him a little about his background and what he liked to do, and loaned him some money to buy some better clothes. The next day, he had a job doing maintenance at a local car wash.
I had no idea there was anybody with that kind of clout, and the willingness to help people, in Hubby’s family. Now I know where to go if I ever decide to go on a finance job search! I hope I don’t ever have to, but at least maybe I’ll have someone to help me out if it does happen.
