DON'T I repeat don't ever front a provider money. Yeah we all know better. I did it 3 or so years ago and the result was that I lost a good provider and some $$ I was new and swore I would never do it again-but fast foward to early this year and I did it again (she did not have money for her room etc) so I floated her on trade. Worked well for a while but when I had to cut my loses and call in our free trade agreement she became resentful that I could not continue the $$ Now she won't return my texts etc and again I lose another ATF and $$ Familiar story? Now if you guys are thinking that I am stupid for not learning my lesson the first time- I agree with you I am stupid. Now before I meet up I look myself in the mirror and repeat "don't be too friendly" Strickly business" "don't offer to help with anything" "I don't want to know any more info that I have too" etc. So far so good. Hopefully I have learned my lesson, and I hope that one of you reading this will think twice before "helping" a provider and heading down the road that I have traveled.
