    UPDATE

    I tried talking to him some more about all of this and to try find out some more about why,and I found out that he's taken out three loans so far in his life to buy 'shiny things' . He said he had the money in his account but 'didn't like spending it' so took out loans to pay for the stuff and then paid the loans back, and obviously with interest. And he sees nothing wrong with it.



    Neither do I. His money, his life and nothing to do with you (a few other posters have said this, but you don't appear to be hearing it).

    I'm sorry but if a 'friend' continued to shove their nose into my personal business and finances, I wouldn't have been as polite as him.

    Seriously, this is starting to sound a bit creepy.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one to think so.
