Saving money will ruin your life.
Trying to haggle or barter with friends, family, or people you’re close with is toxic.

How does it make sense?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll happily pay a 6,000X markup on a pair of headphones because they have a certain brand name you like, but you want free meals at your friends restaurant?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who do you think needs it more?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which one of those two companies would receive a larger impact from your contribution?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only that, I just feel better when I ask to pay full price at my brother’s restaurant or my friend’s business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know everyone else is asking for handouts so when I ask him for the bill or invoice I know there is a free dessert or value add coming my way.

Or maybe they’ll even give me a discount because I didn’t ask for one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can’t control everything, but you can have a HUGE impact on those closest to you.
