THE CALM MONEY SPENDER
Money is meant to be made and to be spent you will all agree with me on that. One thing I’ve come to realize in this my adult hood is that, empty vessels makes the loudest noise, but you see those people that are calm about stuffs, and they don’t like showing off, those people are the real money spenders. They don’t actually buy little things all the time, or even get to spend money every day of the week but when they decide to spend, mehnn… they can just buy one thing for hundreds of thousands beating the person that buys every little thing hands down.
My friend from the university gave a very good example, he is the quite type, he was well to do with, I never saw him lacked anything in school, he always dresses well and eats well, so I know he had the money to take care of himself and I also knew he had enough to share with some friends, we were really close, we had stories to tell each other all but I never knew he was a real money spender infact an “ODOGWU”. Well I guess its not everything you tell everybody and that side of his life wasn’t really my concern, but I remember that everytime I complained to his hearing about how I was broke and I had something to sort out, he’d always come through for me, we were friends like that.
It was our final year dinner, you know how it is about spending money and all, that morning I received an alert, and it was tagged “friendship aler”t, Lol it was from him, I was shocked by this gesture, I called him and asked why he sent such money he laughed and said, he knows that after this final year dinner we wont be having time as friends again and obviously we were going to depart from school and go our separate lives as we live in different states, those words really got to me and I actually teared up but it was all good.
Just when I thought the surprise was all over but no,after our final year dinner, we had an after party with some of our ftiends, and he literally sponsored the whole thing, he made plans for food, drinks, music and even brought someone to anchor to the party, I was just in that party and only thing that was going through my mind was, “ so this my friend has such money to spend like this” it was really surprising how he was so selfless to spend alot during our final days in school, I had other friends who didn’t fail to use every chance to show that they had money but would actually fail when you ask them for help. He was one person that didn’t like showing off but he literally had the money to do anything he wanted to do and also to help others.
His act didn’t make me feel less or didn’t give me the avenue to start demanding from him unnecessarily because its his money, I didn’t try to feel entitled to his money and what he did didn’t put an end to our friendship.
THANKS FOR READING ✨
He's such a wonderful friend, the fact that he doesn't show off is a plus for me. You had a gem as a friend
Yeah, he is such good and wonderful friend
These are the real spenders, real people lols, of course empty vessels makes loudest noise. Not those that are not up to what they call themselves.
Lol, don’t mind them empty vessel
😬😬
I wanna know what does ODOGWU mean?
Well, this of your friend sounds amazing. There are people who keep on showing of but when there is a need they simply disappear. On the other hand there are some friends who come out for help when you expect it the least from them

Lol, well Odogwu means a man of high performance, someone that spends largely literally
I got now. Hehe
Thanks for engaging
What does this mean first time I heard this term.
I think here you meant quiet right?
Anyways I had a similar experience which I have shared already in my post hehe. Have a great day!
Odogwu is a word from the eastern part of Nigeria, that means high performer, literally a person that spends much money
oh i see o.o i learned something new today odogwu
😅😅 that’s right
And yes it was a mistake I meant “quiet”
I like that type of nature, your friend is really the calm money spender.
Yes o, calm money spender😊
Such a friend is rare. It's good to have authority over money and not the other way round. You friend had an authority over his money and as such, he didn't allow himself to be controlled by the money. A rare gem.
Having control over money is really top tier, it shows that you can handle more than the one you already have
Thanks for your post. Proof that not everyone who has money let's it turn them evil.
Many people pretend to be rich. Truly rich people know the value of money and friends and time and health etc and value each one.
I'm glad you found such a friend
I love your comment and thanks for engaging
My dear, showing off is of no need. Is better you it done when necessary and is much appreciated. Like you said, most times people that don't have shows off the most.
Yeah, “empty vessels make the loudest noise”
