The guy was typing a message to his wife by phone, his colleague noticed it and inserted her comment: -Come on, I’m seriously telling you. -Is it a shame to write a message to your wife? -I’m not talking about messages, but about your phone. Who uses a push-button nowadays? You have a big salary, buy a normal touch screen. -I’m fine with this one. You can make calls with it, you can write messages with it. I don’t see any problems. -But I do. I saw your wife last week, she was dressed modestly, no jewelry on her. Maybe you have a problem? In debt? -Stop imagining things. There were rumors in the office that something was wrong in the guy’s family.
He practically did not spend money, although he received a decent salary. There were rumors that he had children out of wedlock, three of them. Or that he had a huge card debt, or he had sick relatives. After that, the director called the boy for a conversation: -Just tell me honestly, do you have any difficulties in life? -No, everything is fine. -Don’t be shy, you have been working in our company for 10 years, you are the best employee. If you need money, I’m ready to help you. Not as your boss, but as a human being. -No, no. I’m fine, I have enough money for everything. -So why do you save so much, I’ve heard so many rumors about you. -Because they are rumors, not everything is true. -What is true then? Why should I believe you? -So be it.
My wife and I are saving money to buy a house, but not a simple one. But in a good clean place. Such a house requires a lot of money, so we are saving. -That’s great. What are you hiding? The goal is noble – a house for the future family. -I’m hiding it because of my relatives. If they find out how much I get and what I am saving for, they will immediately start asking for money. The guy was from a dysfunctional family: his father constantly drank, after he finished school his mother drank. The guy always dreamed of living not like them. His wife was also from a similar family, so they had one main goal in life – to avoid this. When the necessary amount was saved, he and his wife moved. Only they did not say that they bought a house abroad, where it is warm, clean and people are not so curious and envious.
