Two unlikely friends

A parsimonious person and a spendthrift decided to interchange their lives.
A person who was stingy was expected to spend in a lavish manner, whereas the one who used to spend money blindly was expected to save money.

A month had passed. Both met and started discussing their challenges.
It was the parsimonious person who decided to break the ice.
He denied being stingy because he prioritized the basic necessities of life.

Instead of being referred to as stingy, shouldn’t he receive appreciation? That was his argument.
So did the spendthrift defend himself.

“Yes, I hear you,” he said.
“But spending has its own fun. It seems like you don’t have a clue.”

But the secret was out—the cat was out of the bag.
Neither was the parsimonious person happy being a spendthrift,
nor was the spendthrift happy being a stingy person.

What was necessary was management.
Before you entertain a product or a service,
you have to rate its usefulness.

Of what good is your priceless service or product
if it is predominantly redundant?

It is not bad to be parsimonious or a spendthrift.
What matters is how you utilize the quality.
