Is it worth offending if a friend did not call to celebrate the anniversary?
What do you think, What is better to give for your birthdayMoney or something for the soul? In the first case, you will not lose, and a person will be able to buy what he really needs. However, a memorable gift is also great! Especially if it's made with love.
Adults usually exchange envelopes. But for some, the amount of the gift can play a crucial role and cast doubt on further communication. Are greed and greed so common these days? The editorial board has its own opinion on this and even a whole story from life. Let’s see what their heroes are up against.
My wife thinks through any family holiday to the smallest detail. I don't usually get involved. But the last one changed everything. My birthday is on the nose, and Olya made a guest list. “No blacksmiths will be called. Last year they gave you too little money!
I was in shock, to be honest, 'What does it matter how much money was in the envelope?' I'm on good terms with Toley. Remember how many times he helped me. What does it cost to fix our car, remember?

My wife looked at me with disapproval and said that our men's affairs do not matter here. And then she began to complain that Marina, Toli’s wife, was not even her friend: “For the whole year, she did not help me at all!”
I don't understand this nonsense at all. What does it matter who gave it to whom? First, everyone has difficulties in life. Friendship is not measured by money. I remember a time when it was enough to be the happiest birthday boy.
I didn't always give my friends envelopes. One day, I came to a party with a cassette tape of my favorite songs. All evening we listened to music and talked with the guys about life, remembered the past. We were really happy then! Now what?
“You don't understand. The amount in the envelope depends on how much the person respects you. Remember, you will never come to a birthday party empty-handed. Despite all our loans and debts, for friends you do not feel sorry for anything!
I did not recognize Olya and did not want to argue with her. The topic hushed up somehow on its own, and we never came back to it again. And in the morning on my birthday, I just put my wife in front of the fact: "I'm sorry, I still couldn't not call the Kuznetsovs."
The wife was furious: "You're crazy!" I have a table designed strictly for 10 people. If the Kuznetsovs come, you will have to call Simashko and lie to them that the holiday is canceled. Although they always give a lot of money. I'll teach you that!
Why is she acting like this? It's like he's been replaced. I didn’t want to fight on such a festive day: “Honey, let’s call everyone!” If there is not enough food, we will order something at the restaurant. Since when did we become so self-serving? Let our friends decide for themselves what to give for your birthday. Think about the example we are setting for our children. Do you want them to grow up greedy?
Olya softened a little, but it was clear that the situation did not suit her much. At the end of the night, she came to me and apologized. We have never returned to this subject.”
As much as I like to admit it, our world is ruled by money. Very often people lose. the most important spiritual component of life And they go along with greed. This can begin to manifest in the behavior of each of us. The main thing is that there is a close person who will help to look at material problems and their significance from a different angle.
How important is money in your life and how do you feel about it? It will be great to hear your opinion on this. Wait for you downstairs!
