The Mask of Lies

Fake account.

Fake account.

Sometimes girls have a very wrong image of us men. You think we are friends with you for friendship or fitness, right?

It's not like that

We are friends with you directly, looking to get married. You are the one who misunderstands us

A friend who was in love with you with the intention of getting married recently spoke to me. After talking, her real name is about the progress she has made so far. To summarize, this is how

I recently built a house

Do you have a house

How many rooms are there in my house

How many rooms are there in your house

I recently bought a car

Do you have a car

I bought it directly from the sale

What year is yours

Do our children go to school here

Where are your children going

A forum is going here by itself

I am not usually a person who reads big things. But after understanding the scene, I also gave the biggest one.

Finally, I came to the salary talk

You are not Sudu.. Whoever asks, I only tell it to those who need to know. It is not because I get a huge salary. There are some things in life - things that should be kept private. (The scene where some gentlemen hide their salary from their wives is not relevant here, well, that is your business. I am not in it)

Then that friend played a trump card like this (both the wife and the husband are government servants)

As soon as our husband gets his salary, he brings the entire salary to me. Then whenever he needs something, he asks me

(Oh, husband. You are the same.. )

The first thing that came to mind was that you are the only one who is married, then how can the husband be "ours". Okay, let's say it's an internal matter of yours

Here's the second question

Who is the husband between you two?

As far as I know, no government job gives you your monthly salary. It goes to the bank. If you do a day's wage job, you get your salary. So either you've lied to me about your husband's job

Next thing. It's a very good sign to have a peaceful, harmonious, and mutually agreeable way of sharing your salary and spending it. But why does your husband give the entire salary to his wife - and then spend his own money on the bus and the police from morning to evening? Where is your personality, husband?

It should be like this

If you both work

you both know

how much is my salary

and how much is his salary.

How much is left from both of your salaries after deducting loans and other things. That is, how much is the total income.

If possible, it would be better if one of you could take home the entire salary without taking out a loan from both of your salaries. But with the country's economy, that is difficult.

So now we know what the mandatory expenses are for the month. You can share the relevant expenses. I will pay the house rent, electricity and water bills. You will pay the shop bills, the child's bus fare. Or something like that. One of you should also save some kind of money. Because every month is not the same. You can't say when additional expenses will be incurred.

If only the husband works, the best thing is to give his wife a certain amount of money per month for the daily expenses of the house. Open the remaining money in the account. If additional expenses are incurred, you can talk to both of you and see about the expenses with an agreement.

Let me tell you another little theory

This is the advice I gave to my older brother when I was a kid

Brother

When you are rich, you should spend like this

Some money for your parents

Some money for your family

Some money for public works

Some money for yourself

And some money to save.

And you should also keep a little bit of money somewhere so that no one knows. That older brother called it "f-you money" (social media and morality should be protected - but if you don't say that name correctly, the story is not complete)

So who knows when the money you save will be useful to you

There is no end to the trouble you face at work, if you can't stand it anymore, you can only point a finger at the boss and get out of the house if you have enough money to cover your expenses until you find a job again. If you don't have that kind of strength, you'll always have to wait for your boss's orders.

Besides, having that kind of extra money can be a great relief when you get sick, sad, or in trouble.

Just imagine if a friend at work sees a message saying goodnight at night and misunderstands it, and you don't have a place to stay for two or three months. Even if you text her goodnight, neither her sister nor her husband will want to keep you in their house. That kind of money can be invaluable in times like these.

Children who were raised to drink water when they were dying, if they hadn't thought about it in the past, they could have turned on a tap if they had some money.

Even if you fight and do it to everyone while she has the strength, later on you might be the only one left. Then you can live the way you want to contribute to society, but only if you save a little bit of money

That's a good concept, isn't it?

I'm going to start one myself after this work is over

So I'll stop for today. I'll come back later and get another one like this

Now I have to go and see if I can ask the lady for something - a beer and a bowl of chickpeas.
