ahhhh nice one bro. Cuz you know some people feel guilty and tend not to even spend at all and try to mirror the lifestyle of the poor so they don’t feel bad. They call them empaths

tosinhtml:
Extremely NOT.

I used to be that person that over show poor people kindness, but recently I have realised that poor people see what you have and believe you don't deserve it, they look at you & ask themselves why they are not in your position. Anytime someone notices my freehandedness in giving out money, they always try to come up with issues from the family that is of no business of mine just to syphon money out of me.

Today their mother has a broken leg, tomorrow their sister is pregnant but doesn't have money to pay for hospital bills, next tomorrow their Dad is in the hospital and needs 250k for surgery. Their needs are endless.

I still have an open hand to giving to the poor but strategically, I do it to buy loyalty now because the only thing the Nigerian system understands is MONEY.

During Xenophobia retaliation attacks in Jakande Lekki, I saw poor people looting out franchised Shop Rite and their usual tone & consensus was that the Rich owns the place, they buy from there. Why should they be able to purchase those things while we are not able to do the same. I saw old women in their 50s, Men, Ladies & other able bodied men loot electronics and goods from honest people's market with an excuse that they are poor. Random big cars on the road in Jakande were attacked & the excuse was that they are rich, they are the ones stealing Nigerians money.

The poor lives on survival instinct, I can never feel guilty for enjoying the riches God gave me & also from the work I did.

Let them go & work!

Like you go out to eat all the time and it's in nice restaurants and the bill comes to 10,000 etc etc maybe even more. Do you feel guilty knowing that many are hungry or do you just accept that in life there are levels. Make Everyman dey Hin own level. My own level na to eat 10k food while him own level na to eat 200 naira food . Should you feel guilty ?

No, I don't feel guilty because;

1. I don't spend lavishly rather I spend sensibly and modestly.

2. I am more generous and free with money, than I am with my time and space! Unexpected and random acts of kindness via cash gifts is not a big deal for me. I don't need to know you, if I sense in my spirit to gift someone money I don't hesistate.

3. I earn every naira and kobo I make through honest means, so spending what I legitimately earn doesn't make me feel guilty because others lack or are poor. I am not a rogue politician stealing public funds for personal use why should I feel guilty?

4. In certain cases our life choices create our circumstances. Folks with four or more kids who are poor or struggling do not impact me negatively to a point where I feel guilty about spending my money. I no follow them straff the straff wey born those children, I no send them message.

They make life choices which negatively impacts others, whereas you make choices that don't affect them in a bad way. However, they form the habit of repeatedly using their reggae to spoil your blues.

StrongAlphMale:
As a man you need to feel guilty spending on a Nigerian parasite knowing fully well that your mom and sisters are there.

[/b]How you can even spend on a girl who cannot spend on you in return baffles me. The question is "what would she give back in return aside her over used kpekpus" ?

Dating a Nigerian girl is the most 3rd foolish thing on earth.[b]

That's almost like saying do you feel guilty working hard when you know many people are lazy...

Watinhapen:
If you feel guilty spending your money then you probably didn’t work hard for it. Everybody can’t be rich, that’s why there’re poor people. Don’t feel guilty spending your own money anyhow you like. You can help the poor whenever and however you can.

Lost 5h k to the bookies this festive period to the bookies. I felt bad and still feeling bad. Not because of myself but because people around me whom I should have gifted that money. I made good 💰 from bet last year. I invested majority of the money but still had some little left overs which I should have gifted but I went for the kill and lost. Anyways, this year is another year, I would bear it in mind. People are struggling real bad. If God provides for me this year; the blessing would go round.

ednut1:
you no get google

Solofresh2:
The only guilts I feel is for myself and my mum in the sense that, overspending knowing fully well that I don't have much with me at that period of time then,spending and having it in mind if my mum is financially secured because she is all have got for now.I can't really feel guilty because I worked for the money so the money I spent is not from charity.
I do charity when I feel I should.

They aren't always lazy. Sometimes they are unskilled, fearful/doubtful of what they can do, need examples or need some help getting it done.

You are very right!
Which further expands on the fact that due to the mixed bag one gets when addressing the issue of poverty(there are many reasons why people are poor and amongst those reasons Laziness is also one of the major reasons), one needs to be rather logical than sentimental in his overall outlook on spending money.
