Greetings esteemed members of Nairaland Forum,

if your wife spends too much money on frivolous things, is it possible to change her? After all, a person cannot really be changed in regards to instilled values, perceptions, and such. I talked to her about this matters, she said that she was so poor that now everytime she buys something it makes her feel happy.

I wonder how come this is like that, after all her mother is a very stingy woman, who will negotiate endlessly about the price of a bar of soap in the market. I thought people take after their parents.

What can I do? She says I'm stingy man, but in fact I think it's true. I dont want to spend on unnecessary things, because we never know what tomorrow brings in this financial crisis. Additionally any money you spend on uselessness is making the energy and time you invest in earning the money useless. Spending on uselessness is basically throwing life force and our limited time on this earth on the garbage container

what do you people think about this
