Stingy? Me?

I was just being called stingy by somebody.
Hmm...
You know, it's not like I have a choice.
If I am getting a higher salary then yeah, I can probably throw a lot of blue Yusof Ishaks out of the window.
But I'm not.
I barely have enough to spend on myself sometimes.
Is it so bad to think about the future first?
Is it so bad to save for the future?
Is it so bad to practice self-restrain on myself?
Is it so bad to not tell people that I do alms?
Is it so bad to be practical and minimalistic in life?
Is it so bad not to be wasteful in life?
Well, whatever.
Whenever people throw this accusation at me, of course I will feel indignant.
Sometimes I wonder whether is it because there is some ring of truth in it.
But ultimately, I know myself best.
I am stingy when it comes to me.
And yeah, so if I am called stingy then all the more reason for me not to act benevolent huh?
Sounds like a good idea.
