Greed prevents us from living

“Yacht, sail, there’s only us in this world,” sounds from the speakers in a summer restaurant in the resort of Sochi. A young student invited a pretty girl to an evening promenade. The highlight of the day is a shared meal on the terrace at a separate table with a snow-white tablecloth that reaches the floor. Candles in the center of the table decorate the composition and create an intimate atmosphere. The guy and girl take their seats and wait for the waiter. He brings champagne, and the lovebirds, accompanied by the hissing sounds of the drink, discuss life, relationships and common interests.

Everything is fine. The first bottle quickly disappears. Voices become lower and conversations become more intimate. “Let’s order more,” says the girl. The guy immediately becomes gloomy: “Listen, maybe there’s no need for champagne?” — thoughts flash through his head one after another about dinners at the institute, beer gatherings with friends and paying utility bills in a rented apartment. He doesn’t have any money, and a grand gesture in the form of going to a restaurant is an out-of-the-ordinary event.

The girl looks at her boyfriend with a contemptuous look - she understood everything. The situation could be corrected by citing a joke, but this does not happen. The guy won’t remember the rest of the evening. The same cannot be said about her look. The relationship did not work out after this.

In our mentality, a person can be stupid, a liar, childish or fat. Almost everything is forgiven: the inability to screw in a light bulb, insert a socket, and lack of cooking talent. But greed is never forgiven. A greedy person is always half a person. “Never deal with greedy people” is the motto of most reasonable people. It is too early to talk about pathological greed in this case, but to deny that this creates difficulties in life is stupid.

How to recognize a greedy and stingy man?

A union with a greedy and stingy man is an unbearable burden for most women. In such a marriage, not only the wife suffers, but also the children and the husband himself. The tight-fistedness of a loved one, his desire to limit everyone and everything, humiliates and insults. And no matter how strong the feelings for such a person are, it is better to refuse marriage with a stingy person. But how to recognize a greedy person? It’s very simple, you just need to pay attention to your partner’s behavior at the very beginning of the relationship. Family psychologists identify four main types of male characters in terms of managing finances: greedy, stingy, economical and practical. And if an intelligent woman can turn the character traits of the last two types to her benefit, then living with greedy and stingy people is simply unbearable and humiliating, and it is impossible to change them.

A greedy or stingy man can turn the life of his beloved into a real hell, leading her to depression, the development of an inferiority complex, and lack of self-confidence, which are very difficult to get rid of even after a divorce.

You can recognize a greedy man at the initial stage of a relationship by his desire to have the best of everything, but at the same time not share what he receives with anyone, even with the closest people. When meeting with friends, he will insist that everyone pay for their own glass of beer or cup of coffee. If he gives a gift, he will definitely indicate its cost and emphasize how generous he was when he decided to buy such an expensive thing for his beloved. In a cafe or restaurant, a greedy man will take a long time to choose dishes and then recalculate the amount on the bill. But he himself will always be dressed to the nines, drive an expensive car and have only the most expensive gadgets and accessories.

A stingy man is stingy in everything, both in relation to his loved ones and in relation to himself. It is simply impossible to live with a stingy person, because he is sincerely confident that he is right and does not understand why those around him are offended and look at him with bewilderment. Even if such a man occupies a high position and receives a large salary, he will dress in shabby clothes and dine in the cheapest cafe. The miser does not see the point in gifts for his beloved; he is absolutely sure that the evening can be spent at home watching TV or in the park, because there is no need to spend money.

Greedy and stingy people cannot be re-educated and will never change. Each purchase will need to be justified, and no matter how compelling the reasons given by the woman, in the eyes of such a man she will remain a spender.

Thrifty and practical men in most cases become excellent husbands. If a thrifty husband decides to buy something expensive, but necessary for the home or the woman he loves, he will definitely do it. And an intelligent woman will understand that a temporary limitation in something is not greed, but economy, which as a result will turn out to be a plus for her. A practical man strives to have the best, but tries to make purchases during the season of sales or discounts. He always knows where, how much and when this or that product costs, and in his “arsenal” there are always cards for discounts in a pizzeria, supermarket or boutique, but these manifestations of his character should not be perceived as greed.
