Slice Of Life #9 - Their Catastrophic Ways


          Money is uncontrollable sometimes. But I also learned that money can actually bring happiness and misfortune all at the same time. Today my grandmother lost one her houses in Orlando and a couple others in Bolivia and Mexico. Honestly, this situation really isn't that bad. She still has several houses that are well paid.

          A couple years ago, my uncle asked to borrow just $5,000,000 from her bank account, so he can make some houses in Mexico and Bolivia. Mexico because, he is the president of a company called Herbalife there (and there is good business). Bolivia because, everything and everyone is there. Anyways, after the houses were finished, the money was slowly recovering. So slowly, that the houses were about to be taken away from them.

          In Bolivia, $1 is worth 7 bolivianos. So 5,000,000 American dollars/ 35,000,000 bolivianos or  94,059,000 Mexican pesos (according to Siri) were technically put to waste. I don't think I should really get into great detail, but in the end, since the money came from grandmother, she lost some of her houses. Thankfully most were recovered and everyone now hates my uncle.

          They're back being happy with their money. Yay!   

Always and forever, Natalie Nicole Aguila
