@LadiesofHive Community Contest #282 questions for the week are:
1οΈβ£ Whom on Hive shall I trust with my HivePower and will use it responsibly? πππ / ππ ~2οΈβ£ Extending financial support to family members may be a given, but in these difficult times our friends may find themselves in genuine need. What resource boundaries, conditions, or rules do you have to limit yourself?
First of all I must say they are very interesting and unique questions.
In my case, both my Hubby and Son are always enthusiastic about my Hive account, and they do not keep a track on my Hive Power, but they do keep checking with me how it's going and if I need any assistance from them. I am sure if I have to depart my Hive will be well taken care off. But say for any reason, they lose their interest in my accumulated Hive and once I am gone, I need to entrust it to someone else, then I clearly have one person coming to my mind and that's @Canadian-coconut - Linda. She is one person who I have known right from the beginning of my Hive journey as she has been extremely supportive to me in my Hive journey, till date she is around. When she had a good Hive power, she supported me and she does now also, for which I am forever grateful to her.
In these 8 years of journey, she has always been around which makes me understand how serious and responsible she is about Hive. I will like to give my Hive to a person who will value it, so there is no one else better than Linda to who I can pass on all my Hive. I know she will grow it from whatever she gets and put it to good use. Even if it does not grow it's fine or she wants to use it completely it's fine with that as well, once given and I am gone how it is used is entirely her choice.

I do land up in such situations where I feel I am obliged to help my family and friends and I would never want to shy away from doing it, but that would be with always staying in my boundaries and making sure that helping them in anyway is not disturbing my budgets. I will only help with the excess amount that I would have at hand. I have always had this rule, that first look at my needs and if possible, extend help. If someone comes to me with a request of money, I will first check how much I can lend before committing anything and how much genuine their need is. If it's for some medical emergency I will not want to hold myself back, but I will make sure that the demand is genuine and then give help.
To be very honest, I have struggled a lot to my way up and it has never been easy, but I have never asked for financial help from anyone, even for my most genuine need and in most dire times. I have done many odd jobs to earn money along with my full-time job, to manage my expenses. I expect the same from everyone, to fight their own battles. I am not an easy target when it comes to money, except for very few situations, especially as I mentioned if it's medical emergency or if related to children. I would get to any lengths for them, but other things I would not encourage much and refrain from helping. I do not encourage people who do not wish to put in effort and want easy help from others.
