Video Overview
The writer receives a call while traveling and learns that a family member has lost more than NT$2 million through day trading since the previous year. NT$1.5 million of the money came from a personal loan. Because the family member's salary is nearly exhausted by mortgage and living costs, relatives consider splitting the NT$20,000 monthly payment and providing another NT$200,000 for living expenses. The speaker strongly opposes repaying the debt for that person. He argues that financial rescue could postpone accountability and says the borrower should sell the house, cut expenses, or take another job. These are the speaker's views on one family case, not a universal debt-management conclusion.
