What a lovely gesture! I am sure it was heartfelt and appreciated by them. Random acts of kindness can change the world.
My parnts used to fight about money A LOT. It scared the hell out of me as a kid because through time I became more and more convinced that I wouldn't be able to survive in the world as an adult. It's the worst thing to fight about and can erode a relationship down to it's core.
I hope that your foot feels better tomorrow and that you are less grumpy.
The conversations my parents had (trying to balance their financial obligations) helped teach me things about money, its importance and the value in knowing how it works. I learned those lessons young and built on them. Good lessons. They set good examples and I'm glad ..not that they knew I was able to hear them. Their problems kept me up at night and made me change my behaviours, or just develop better ones at the outset.
My foot is...Well, I said I'd take a machete to it a few days ago but have not so yep, it's progressing. The rest of me? Hmm, it's Monday morning and I have to go to work so...not so good.
Thanks for your comment which I appreciated.
Hi Galen. Thanks for your reply.
I'm so glad that you were able to use that for good and build on it. Perhaps our experiences were a bit different when I wrote "spoke" perhaps I meant "fought"
It taught me things too and I am generally very good with money, but I suppose the lessons could have been taught differently is what I meant. Do you know what I mean?
I really enjoyed reading your post, it had that "feel good" vibe about it. I needed that and I am sure that the elderly couple were overjoyed with your generosity and kindness. Also, it's a pleasure to help out with your community, I enjoy it so much.
Have a lovely day.
Sometimes lessons are delivered well and sometimes not, if the net result of the lessons you learned is that you're good with finances then the job got done, however I'm sure you injected the bulk of the effort in attaining your final financial intelligence. And yes, I'm sure those lessons could
shouldhave been delivered differently.Those old buggers better shout me a coffee if they win the lotto someday! 😁
Seriously though, it was no trouble to buy them a snack and I felt nice about it and so I won too.
