During this time of year, the call for “debt collection” starts from acquaintances to strangers on various fronts like text messages, Facebook, and phone calls.
If you scroll through Facebook for a bit, you’ll definitely see your friends’ statuses calling for “paying off debts,” and even the media is buzzing about the issue of paying off debts before Tet.
Everyone wants to have some extra money this Tet to buy a few new items for their family, some new gifts, or some new clothes for themselves to have a joyful Tet without worrying about money after Tet.
But when you borrow, it doesn’t always mean you pay back on time. Every time you make a call, you only receive the message “Sorry, the debtor can’t come to the phone right now,” and when you ask why, you get the answer “Because she doesn’t want to!” Or if you send a message via Messenger, all you get is the “seen” status message.
Not repaying debts on time, especially before Tet, seems to be an issue that many people are concerned about, and according to experts in feng shui and spirituality, not paying off debts before Tet will bring bad luck for the whole year.
Experts believe that the end of the year is a time for people to resolve any issues, misunderstandings, and debts from the previous year, so they can start the new year with ease and have a happy Tet without worry or stress.
In terms of beliefs, our ancestors thought that carrying over debts from one year to another is not advisable because it will lead to financial difficulties for the borrower in the new year, and the lender will only give but not receive, resulting in loss of wealth and luck.
For these two reasons, borrowing, lending, or demanding debts have been considered taboo during the first few days of the year.
If you encounter such a situation, the lender will only spend the year chasing after debts, and the borrower will struggle financially throughout the year and cannot accumulate wealth.
Paying off debts before Tet is not only the practical action of those who are aware of the principle “if you borrow, you must return,” but also to maintain family ties, maintain good relationships, which will benefit work and mental well-being in the future. Moreover, according to ancient beliefs, when you settle your debts and resolve any issues from the previous year, the new year will bring more luck and prosperity to your home, and everything you do will go smoothly.
