When we know someone who has disproportionately higher money than us, it is always useful to remember that they are still a human and not an ATM machine.
You should always figure a way to meet your needs and wants. And if you can’t meet them, slash them.
Just because you are surrounded by someone who has way more money than you, you are not allowed to ask them of anything. In the similar manner that you are not allowed to ask for money from someone who has less than you.
The other person might love to do things for you, but it is wisdom to remember that people love giving when they know that your intent is not to strip them off their money. In order to keep their joy of giving intact, we must never bring in a greed of asking.
No one’s money is yours, honey. Other than your own. A life mantra that has always allowed me to live with the highest level of self respect for ages, and still continues to.
