I am actually having a great day here and I am wishing everyone in the house a very happy weekend and a happy life.
Before I use to think that stinginess is caused by poverty and I have hold onto this believe for a very long time until when I came in contact with a very rich man that is also stingy, then I realized that poverty is not always the cause of stinginess. I have also been opportuned to meet with people who are poor. Poor in the sense that the eat from hand to mouth. You know to an extent we can also say that such people are not poor. But that is my own definition of poverty. If one can not meet the his personal needs, but the highest he can do is to manage to eat food maybe two times a day or even once, then I see such person as a poor person. Like I said earlier, I have seen poor people who are not stingy or greedy despite their Financial condition. Then the narrative changed from what I use to believe before to a new one. I now discovered that stinginess and greediness are all habits that one needs to deal with so as to do the right thing at the right time.
MY ENCOUNTER WITH A STRINGY RICH FELLOW
source
I have a very close friend. We are still friends oh, but we don't discuss money issues when ever we meet. I decided to make it so, so that I will not end up becoming too angry that I will lose my temper. She is female and married to a wealthy man. We are actually supposed to be very good friends. But the friendship has boundaries. There is this particular boundary we can't cross. Money! When ever you raise the issue of money, the complain of all her problems you will get will from her, you will regret ever bringing the issue.
I discovered the kind of person that she is after I have gone to her for the fourth time for a particular problem and she gave me some excuses. That was when I realized that she is not the type of person that will help a friend in days of trouble. After speaking to her for about four times concerning a particular problem and saw how she treated it, I decided to stay away when it comes to finances. I did that because she is not ready to help out even in a small way.
When she noticed that I have withdrawn from telling her about it she became uncomfortable about it and started raising the issue by herself. But all that I told is that it has been taken care of. This person I am talking about deals with business worth millions of naira. But she feels as if she is taking you to heaven is she is giving you five thousand naira.
Thank God for hive. Since I started hiving, I started making little money aside the ones I make before getting to know about hive. So, this has helped me to withdraw from some of these friends that has the money but wants you to come and kneel down to beg before receiving any financial assistance from them. And since then, I have become a celebrity. Yes, 😄😄😄 people don't get to see me anyhow now and I also make my money from home. If I need anything, all I need do is to place a call and that settles it. So, my level too has changed. People don't even know if I have problem or not. Every one is on his own and life is very easy like this.
MY HUMBLE PRAYER 🙏🙏
God please bless me and give me the heart of helping others out of poverty.bi don't really want the kind of money that I will have and not be able to help others.
