"You only do this with someone who is honest because money and people do not mix."

"I do this with my ex."

"Before I lost my job I used to do this with my brother. I'm thankful because, on the 15th, he still sends me something for me to survive."

@kagisho August made a complaint: 

"I get paid on the 31st, and my lady friend gets paid on the 15th, so on non-payday, I would send her R1000, but yet she only gives me R700."
