I have always been a forgetful keeper when it comes to keeping loose change from shopping and part of the monthly allowance for miscellaneous expenses. I tuck it into couch corners, in between books, in one of the many pockets of any of my bags, clothes' pockets and forget about it.
There are times when I would practically turn down the house searching for it and other times, I would be pleasantly surprised with the amount of cash I retrieve from hidden corners.
This habit has saved me a number of times when I thought I was cash strapped.
Though some may see it as being careless with money, it's a not-so-bad kinda habit when compared with other addictive and negative ones...
There is also an assumption or myth that those who are careless with cash are usually generous and hardly remember small debts.
I don't mind living with this type of habit as long as money keeps materializing when I desperately need them. Lol...

ReplyDeleteYou have not lived with someone that takes what they didn't keep. When you do, you'll change by force. They won't tell you how far 😂
DeleteWell
ReplyDeleteMy husband is careless with money. He is very generous and flamboyant and doesn’t think of the future. He has nothing tangible to his name. Those he throws money to are building houses and managing. It’s very frustrating. Anyway I have learnt to take the money when he has and save it for a rainy day. But I am getting tired of having rainy days all the time.
ReplyDeleteThis one na my Papa while were growing up. That thing can pain eeh e come be like say una no get sense. You can't change it, just take it like that.
DeleteThank God for life, we have all those things and more now, but it's all fine.
Hmmm. You have to sit him down and have a serious discussion with him else you and your kids will suffer o
Delete10Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much,
ReplyDeleteand whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
11If, then, you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust
you with true riches?…Luke 16:10
This is the question the Lord is asking you this morning. For e.g. If you have
been lying about the needs in the house to collect "extra allowance," you are going
to lie when given a promotion in the office or given a contract or ministerial positions.
And do know and understand that some lives are jeopardized any time a lie is told.
The bad roads you see today claiming lives are due to dishonesty by public and political
office holders and contractors. Nigerians complain a lot about corruption but are
corrupt in their own little way. If you can cheat your husband or your mother, who
told you that you won't cheat the government or the masses?

DeleteSometimes I forget money in my pockets. The joy seeing the money when one is flat broke reach to dance.
ReplyDeleteTrue o! I have experienced the joy and it's so sweet.
DeleteVery sweeeeet o.
Delete@candy,I can relate
DeleteI am very careless about money around the house.
ReplyDeleteI used to be careless with cash when I was in school. I keep money inside my textbooks, handouts and bags. It used to come in handy when I am broke. But now, the money is not even enough not to talk of forgetting where I put. Ko possible rara.
ReplyDeleteIf l can't find my money, its either lost or stolen. I don't forget money anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI found quite a good amount of cash stashed in one of my booties
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks ago .
Lol .
I usually keep monies in various places and I forget but it always comes in handy especially when I don't want to use my card.
Not careless with cash...all extras go into my piggy box....
ReplyDeletecareless ke, me that I will calculate the way I spend money including tfare. I'm keeping any change inside my piggy bank because I want to buy freezer by December(by God grace). I don't want to be spending anyhow now.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of habit is not bad until someone else begin to live with you. Most especially if the person is not trust worthy.😀😀 Las Las you will learn to keep your money safe. Money wey never reach😁😁
ReplyDeleteExactly what I commented up there. That was me before, till I housed a friend. What I saw reach to cry. The worst was that I had no prove of what I was looking for because I don't keep count; but always knew I was supposed to have it somewhere because when I am alone I find them. She was too nice in other aspects; so I was forced to change. Started knowing where my last 20naira was. Tested her a few times and knew where I kept it; it still borrowed leg. So I stopped.
DeleteLater found out she grew up on survival and not character check and morals kind of home. Like in their house if you stroll off and food gets done, you are on your own when you come back because it's those around when they offed stove that will eat.
Poverty is a bastard!
I have spoken to her to change. She just told me to stop keeping things where she will see it. That in her house these things are normal. They even laugh if they discover where you hid it and take it off.
She's still my friend because she's good in many other things. But her ways ehnn. E tire person!
My own is that once I put money in my wallet, I don't remember the amount again or if count money I don't want to use to do something at the moment and keep, I will not remember the exact amount again and if someone steal from 1k to 10k out of it, I won't know.
ReplyDeleteI wish my husband can be like you....Sigh.
