Give, do not lend; after death who will thank you? ~ E. M. Forster
Paying it forward is an ancient idea but fresh and new. I learned long ago lending money to someone careless…or broke… when it came due left me resenting them… but myself more…and now I ask people to play it forward and make both of us feel better. I know, too, how much more the same amount is worth at some points in life than at others. So I agree with Forster but phrase it differently.
