Too generous, end up nothing at her hand...

May 28, 2021 8:57am CST
As the saying goes, "you do not have to be rich to be generous". But, what if, there is really nothing left at your hand, and yet you still lend even the single penny that you have save. I've known a person who is generous but she always end up broke. As a result, she always borrows money from people around her including me. And in this regard, I always advice and tell her, indeed being generous is good but if you don't have the money, you can say no. And saying no doesn't mean you don't want to help, its just, helping is not always about giving money. That, whenever I say all these, she always tell me, "yes I know, yes I know". Somehow, I really feel sad whenever I saw her having nothing at her hand. But it seems like she doesn't listening as she kept ignoring me whenever I am reminder her and giving her an advice.

The generosity of that lady is appreciable. A true generous person is the one who gives last penny he has got and do not mention about it to anyone.

Indeed, her generosity is really great. A thumbs up for the good work. How about if she has nothing left on her hand, that whenever she feels like crying, I really feel sad as well.

She needs too use wisdom when it comes to money and giving is not always about giving money. and she needs to know the power of saying no. or else people will continue too drain her resources and you all need to stop giving her money because that will drain your resources too.

Honestly, I pity her at one point, because during the time when she was earning a lot, she always give some to her older brother. But when the wheel turn around, wherein, she was not working anymore and her older brother who has the work now, her brother always question her, what happened to the money he has given. I really want to help this friend and I have teach her all the process I know but, she refuse to listen at times.

Make sure you also don't listen to her next time when she wants to borrow money from you.
