Smart or Silly?
Last night on bravo Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Williams showed off her newly leased -to -buy $8,000 square foot home to co-stars Kandi Buruss and Phaedra Parks which raised eyebrows. Of course the secret was then shared among the other co-stars who too agreed that Porsha was making a very irrational decision considering that she is a single woman without a chick or child who is currently undergoing a divorce.
Now Porsha contends that her new purchase in the suburb district of Georgia is a “motivation” step towards the life that she plans to resume following her nasty divorce to former NFL player Kordell Stewart but did she “bite off more than she could chew” in this decision.
” You done lost you cotton-picking mind. That is the dumbest thing you ever did.We don’t spend our money to get motivated – says Phaedra… “We get set up first” – said Kandi. “
Porsha responds:
” First I have my family getting on me about moving into this house and here comes Kandi and Phaedra. I wish that they would just support me and understand that this is just apart of my process – says Porsha.”
So the question begs: Is Porsha right? Should her friends be a support when asked?
I’ll keep my opinion short. I am a firm believer that a lesson is repeated until it is learned. Porsha obviously is bred from a lavish lifestyle [which is presently known in her spoilish/teen-age behavior] but that is the status quo for many silver spoon spoiled kids.
The issue here is that Porsha is “spending a dime while earning a nickle” in this case I think both her friends and family are trying to deliver Porsha with some ‘reality truths’ about her new single life. Scaling down doesn’t mean you won’t never be able to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous, it just means that your are more conscious of your finances and therefore you make a choice to live in reasonable means instead.
However, once a friend request that you butt-out of his/her personal affairs, take heed and do so because it only causes resentment, jealous rumors, to you [the messenger] and it can ultimately cause an estranged relationship between the two.
