to me being stingy gives me peace of mind, it's comforting
my girl friend tho does not seem to understand
how can i make her understand
that being tight is right
because she used to be extremely poor she thinks happiness comes from buying yourself material things
it's odd that she does not seem to fear poverty by spending
i fear poverty every second of my life
and therefor try to be as stingy as i can reasonably be without impairing quality of life
You're wise to do so. A jedi craves not these material things.
As to your woman, it's in her nature. She will never change, or, more aptly, will be loathe to change her ways. She will capitulate to a certain degree if she loves you, but her desire for the comforts of material goods will fester below the surface and rise to the surface in the form of nagging and needling you about your spend-thrift ways.
Honestly, if that pisses you off, find a new girl. That will never go away. And I'm not blaming women...lots of guys spend like it's going out of style too. You are either raised from birth to value thriftiness, or you're not. You can't change that...it gets hard-wired and is extremely difficult to break.
If you insist on sticking it out, you'll get into lots of fights and arguments, you'll resort to hiding money to keep it away from her (which she'll find, and which she'll use to accuse you of mistrusting her and even go so far as to insinuate that you use the hidden money for trysts), and you'll generally spend the relationship looking over the proverbial financial shoulder.
Find a girl who is thrifty; one who is pretty, but not full of herself; one who is secure in herself, but willing to do whatever it takes to keep you happy because she knows relationships need work to remain secure; one who works hard at her career and makes good money doing so; one who is kind to you, but not so kind she hands the pair's material possessions to every panhandler on the street; one with a mom that looks great even at age 55 (it's all about genetics); one who studied business in university (scientists come and go and aren't always paid their worth, as are artists...the world always needs people who know how money is made and grown and will pay for knowledge herein); one who can cook, or at least knows how to make the foods you like; one who doesn't mind cleaning, but is also smart enough to know she makes enough money to pay someone else to clean when she needs to; one who fawns over children and would devote herself to them if she had them with you, but isn't hell-bent on justifying her existence by popping out kids for the sole purpose of reproduction; one who will submit to your ever whim in the bedroom, but isn't afraid to make a few demands of her own; one who will not give all your money to her next husband when you die early from shooting too much trenbolona, but is ok with you doing as much trenbolona as you need to, to stay happy; one who enjoys watching the NFL; one who enjoys the fact that you life weights, but has her head on straight enough to remind you that bodybuilding is pretty gay; one who knows the difference between an exchange traded fund and an index fund, and can speak on this; one who views the house as an investment first and foremost; one who has eyes only for you and is disease free; one who reads getbig, and finds me to be pretty funny and insightful.
