Matthew decided to apply for a loan from the bank. He had big plans for the money that he would receive from the loan. Matthew was sure that he would receive the loan money, so he started to spend money from his savings on unnecessary things. However, a few days later, the bank informed Matthew that his loan application had been rejected. He felt devastated. All the plans he had made were now impossible.
