A surety. In the past, just like today, there was the practice of requiring a surety to guarantee the payment of requiring a surety to guarantee the payment of a debt. The one who agreed to act as a surety took on the responsibility for someone else’s debt if they were not able to pay it off.

Being aware of the problems it can bring to a person’s life; the father warns his child of the dangers of risking his assets because of other people.

However, many people have ignored this warning and today are facing serious financial problems. In a rash way, many people have agreed to stand surety for a friend and are now in the list of bad payers, not to mention those who are even facing bankruptcy because one day they blindly trusted others.

It is not wise to take on the responsibility fro someone else’s debts when you are not sure of their commitment and responsibility.

It is better to refuse to make such commitments and feel bad for a moment than to face a great and lasting problem later.
