Money and Relationships
Be prudent as well as humane when dealing with people about money as it is something which can make or break relationships, says Shivi Verma
We need, crave, and love money. But we also love harmony and good relationships with others.
Have you seen how often both of these clash? No sooner money gets involved in relationships than the situation becomes either fragile or volatile if not handled with extreme care, sincerity, and honesty. There are cases galore of children, siblings, or friends betraying their loved ones for money. Property and inheritance issues have driven a wedge between families and blood ties. In extreme cases, even lives have been lost over money. Hearts get broken, faith gets destroyed, disappointment and bitterness sets in, and relationships get fractured forever if money issues are not dealt with wisely and with integrity. So then, how do we walk the treacherous terrain of money and relationships?
Let’s accept that, barring our children, we are circumspect in spending money on others. We want others to be financially independent and not come to us asking for a loan. We want our hard-earned money to work for us and take care of our needs and priorities. However, in this world which works on exchanges of all kinds, money too is a currency of exchange. We all have faced times when we have needed more money than we have and have had to approach friends, moneylenders, or family members for assistance. In those times, anybody who has come forward to bail us out of that tricky situation has been nothing less than an angel for us. Therefore, it doesn’t behove us to reject a call for financial help outright if someone is genuinely needy.
