Money stops being about numbers the moment it touches relationships. @MURPHSLIFE explains how personal debt destroys self-worth in a way institutions never can. When you can’t pay back a friend, the shame isn’t financial — it’s social. You become “the one who can’t be trusted.” People talk. You disappear quietly. For him, that pressure stacked until it broke him. An overdose. Seizures. Letting go. This is what rarely gets said about money. It doesn’t just ruin finances. It can erase people.
