As the evictors threw his last belongings out of the plush 4- bedroom flat all James could say was that all he had done to be treated this disgracefully was because he wanted to move his new wife into an environment and an apartment of her choice after their marriage
It appeared he had miscalculated, the rent was triple his salary, and his creditors were getting unrelenting, and their calls were becoming frustrating, he had to borrow to balance the rent, fund the wedding and buy a car
And without thinking, the young banker could only say he did whatever he did for love, well we may never know, so it appears.
His recent financial struggles are not just a result of poor planning; they were a result of emotional inspired investment or investment made as a result of emotions.
This story became quite pitiful and painful because his young wife who he dotted over and invested on left him as soon as the tough came, as soon as the financial crunch bit harder.
The question many have asked is? Was he wise or was he foolish, was he smart or was he stupid, was he in love or was he living a lie, was he thinking or was he not and if he was thinking, what exactly was he thinking about?
The lovelorn banking executive eventually lost his job, his wife and had his car confiscated for failing to live up to his financial obligation.
Does love make one that vulnerable, does love make one that gullible, does love make one do the extreme, do the bizarre, do the unthinkable in the name of love?
The answer to this question is what everyone can and should be able to answer depending on what side of love they fall.
