If you introduce someone to a lifestyle they can’t maintain, 5 things to keep in mind
1. Financial burden: Introducing someone to an expensive lifestyle can create financial strain, potentially leading to debt or financial instability.
They manage to travel by bus in peace and happiness, but the first time you invite them over, you berate the person for travelling by bus and say all the people you roll with travel by air. Oya give the person money for flight, who sigh!
Give the person opportunity to make money so they can grow financially, you won’t do it. I pour you spit!
2. Unrealistic expectations: You may create unrealistic expectations about their financial capabilities or lifestyle. This is why people come online and feel earning 500k Naira per month is small money because they know somebody who earns more. Probably that person is the only one in the entire area but they assume it is the standard.
Enter keke like civilian, the person will be ordering ride up and down because you have introduced them to another lifestyle and upended their life.
3. Dependency: They might become reliant on you for financial support, which can be unhealthy for the relationship or friendship.
Because you have increased their spending habits without increasing their income, they may need to find alternative means to meet their expenses. If they cannot obtain support from you, they may resort to using their bodies. If you decide to use your body and collect transport fare, please refund if you won’t show up again ooo.
4. Resentment: If they’re unable to maintain the lifestyle, they might resent you for introducing them to it.
They won’t make much progress and they will always blame you for their failure in life. Sometimes if someone is drinking garri without sugar, just give them sugar and milk to enjoy the garri well. Don’t buy jollof rice and chicken with juice for the person.
5. Potential Relationship Damage: The financial stress and pressure to keep up appearances can damage the relationship.
I know someone who is 28 and has turned down 3 serious suitors because they are not at the financial level of her ex. These men are comfortable and can take care of a family, but she wants a big money man. I wish her well.
