Greetings family and friends. Hope we are all enjoying good health 💕🌸

!Generosity is something that comes from within especially if one is the type that has feelings of emotions for others, but being generous is something we should know when it’s necessary and right to give, while also checking out if we are being manipulated.

This weeks prompt is one that calls for a check in how we see ourselves while helping others because we don’t went to say no.

When We Have Needs.

Needs are not wants. Needs are basic necessities we must attained to before other things are considered. Many of us may fail into the categories of people who love to give because of how we feel for others or because we have soft spots for those we want to help financially but I believe boundaries are what we should set when considering ourselves first especially when we don’t have enough at a given point in time, but trying to also help others.

There are times we might have planned our finances for some expenses due to our scale of preference and have definitely set out some funds as budgeted to cover up the needs with the funds. This should be a period to set boundaries of saying no to any one since we did not have extra spared funds.

Knowing Who We Are Helping:

People can be funny with asking for help especially those that feels that the person they are asking for help is up and doing, not considering the person has his or her personal problems too. I believe in helping others financially but will always know the kind of person am helping out. If I have helped somebody out more than twice with the hope for the person to move on in life bettering his or herself but have not, its definitely a warning to say no to any further assistance because it will not stop there. Many do want to take advantage of people who they feel they can manipulate easily because they see you as someone that is not smart

.# Economic Difficulties:

At some points in our lives we are affected by change of what is happening in the society or how the economy suddenly began to affect our finances , income and expenditure. And the first thing we do is to restrict ourselves from spending way overboard. Just like how things has turned out in this present year of 2024. At the beginning of this very year every one was anticipating a very good and successful year, but change is the only thing constant as we saw how the economy was turned up side down. This in turn can lead to how we want to cut down on expenses💰and can make us set boundaries and say no to people who expect financial help from us, as we basically want to focus on how to manage what we have until the economy improves. I don’t think there is anyone who the present economy in Nigeria 🇳🇬 did not affect.
This is one big example of setting boundaries to financial assistance.

Thank you friends for reading ❤️.
