ASKING FOR MONEY!

Is anyone else experiencing what I have been over the past week or so were almost every expat I've known or even just met is asking or at least fishing (telling some sob story) for money? I understand its a tough time but I mean its got to the point were people I've said "Hi" to a few times are sending me messages and its starting to really piss me off.

Times are tough for... EVERYONE!!!

I haven't gotten anything like that, but everyone is feeling the pinch I think. My income has dropped by like 30%, and every business owner I know is being squeezed. The key is to diversify your sources of income, but that's easier said than done.

That's very true my experience has been only foreigners living in the kingdom asking me for money not a single person from my homeland of Australia have asked me and I know WAY more people there, I feel like some might be using Covid-19 to ask for moneys needed or not. Had 3 people in one day with the same story "I'm owed money but can not collect until the pandemic is over" I just replied "I'm dealing with Coronavirus BS too" and blocked them.

And just to clarify I've had Australians living in Cambodia ask but none living back home.

You seem to be a great friend to have in bad times.

Anyway, mu COVID-19 measure has been I stopped my wife's allowance, she sold a cow and now she's paying me 650 USD a month. Tips are extra.

If we are friends and you want anything more then friendship from me you're out of luck, does that make me a bad friend?

Oh no, friends can accept a no from a friend.

It's the indirect reply "I'm dealing with Coronavirus BS too" and the blocking that triggered me.

I will never apologize for my honesty and like I said in my original post these were people that I didn't even know that well I have never asked anyone for anything my Dad taught me that and to always have something saved away for a rainy day.

And just because you did save for that rainy day doesn't mean you are there to look after those who pissed their income against the wall.
I have had a lot of Khmer talk about their lost jobs but no expats whinging to me.
