Jill Scott talks about money and how she deals with people who ask for help but aren't responsible with their own financial lives "If you cannot afford the thing, don't buy the thing and then come to me to help you out with major life things. You're going on a holiday, but you don't have your mortgage? Okay, maybe you needed that—I understand—but the next time? Oh, and the time after that? [Here comes the storm.] Here we come. It's enough. You're not responsible with your life and your finances, so why on earth should I help you be irresponsible? Why should I put myself—$700 is the same for you as it is for me. I could fill my house with groceries with $700. I could buy myself a nice little pair of shoes. I could help a friend who needs it. It could be $700 or $7,000 or $70,000—whatever the case may be. I can't play with you when you're playing with your finances. I won't do it."

Money is about to find you.

The first sign of declining mental health isn't always a panic attack or sudden tears. It starts quietly. Waking up tired after hours of sleep. Gut issues. Low energy. Feeling lost. Struggling to fall asleep. Forgetting things. Hair loss. Skin flare-ups. Muscle aches.Pulling away from people. Arguing with the ones you love. Not being able to get out of bed. Watching friendships fade. Your body whispers before it screams. There's still time to listen.
