A few weeks ago, I posted on my WhatsApp status an airdrop which was ongoing (with the expectation of helping a few friends earn in crypto, while i also earn some referral bonus) but to my surprise noone responded. The only reply I got about the airdrop was a friend asking me to give him some money, and immediately I read his message I swore not to give him a dime.
This is the same case I think most established rich men face out there, it is a culture where most people don't want to do anything for themselves, they only expect to get for others.
I can't tell of other places around the world, but here in my country it is believed that rich men are very stingy, they are said to horde all the money to themselves, some even took it to the extreme by saying "most rich men would have people bury their money with them in their graves". Personally, I don't regard anyone has stingy, in as much you worked for your money all by yourself, I don't see any reason why you are expected to be a "Father Christmas", who's always giving out things.
But really, what will be your reaction when you give someone the opportunity to earn (in my case, for free), and yet they'll prefer taking only that which you've gotten? This shows they don't care about their own future so automatically you should know they won't care about yours. They will only succeed in sucking you dry, they move on to the next rich person. In such a case, won't it be better to be labelled a stingy fella?
This is one thing I hope friends and families get straight, the fact that someone in the family is privileged doesn't make them an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine), you have to think for yourself. Why can't you have them help you get established? I personally know of a case where a family member was ready to help his younger one setup a business, but instead the younger brother told him to bring the money needed, till today the younger brother still has no job.
Definitely, there are cases where we would need urgent help, but we should all know that it's easier to help someone with a dream than helping someone who has only needs. A person with a dream Is considered to be like a trainee, while those with only needs are nothing but a liability, and everyone has enough personal liabilities so why do you think they'll want to add another one to the list.
All I'm trying to say is, helping other is a very good and enjoyable thing to do but helping people who only want to get for their "now-needs" is a pain in the ***, so I'll conclude with that saying which says it better to teach a man to fish, than giving him a fish paraphrasing it's easier to help a man who's trying to build a future for himself, than to help a man without a future.
