When others make you feel poor

I told you already about my organizer in 2006 who was a very rich but also very stingy person. While I was focusing on the psychological situation of this man, I have to say that it is not very easy for me either, to live with someone who measured everything with money. That is just not my nature!

It is just not me to think of money for each and everything! I have met a lot of people who think a lot about money. There is always a comparison of cost, you cannot enjoy a meal of good quality if it is a bit more expensive than what you are used to and you always seem to be paying and paying lots of money for everything!

I believe this makes you feel very poor. You constantly feel that you don’t have enough money to afford things that you would actually like to buy. At every occasion, the question comes whether you have enough money, whether the thing that you really want to buy is worth the money and so on.

I actually never thought in this way, no matter whether there was enough money or less available for my family and me to live and make expenses. Even in times when we did not have a lot, I never considered myself poor. On the contrary, I was always rich, fully regardless the situation of my purse!

Being with such people always gave me a feeling that I didn’t like: the feeling of being poor. Even if I was going to pay for our shopping, even if I was going to buy something for myself, the man next to me would tell me that I was not taking the cheapest option available. When I showed him the butter or bread or other item that I liked, he told me that this one was expensive.

It made me want to tell him that it was my money, that I was well aware but had enough for afford this! I understood however that he couldn’t do anything else because it was a long habit – and so I just explained that for certain things, and food is always included in that, I prefer looking at the quality and not so much the cost.

This doesn’t mean that I spent money without limits! At the same time however, there are also people who make you feel rich while buying at reasonable prizes!

And I decided that I would just need to sometimes ignore such comments. I cannot even imagine how one can live with such a mentality and enjoy being poor! I enjoy feeling rich from my heart!
