Incredible @helenestafleu. Someone who has the discipline to save, to deny themselves things, and to postpone purchases absolutely does not have a moral obligation to share that accumulated reserve with those who have not exhibited that discipline. Come on, that's the opposite world! For the saver, this meant less frequent vacations, a cheaper car, not getting a new phone every year, not regularly dining out but just eating at the dining table at home, living more frugally, making second-hand purchases instead of new ones, etc. It's a choice with a price: you deny yourself things so that you have a buffer later, in case things go wrong, when unexpected costs arise, but also to be able to live more comfortably in your old age. Those who are not willing to make that effort and pay that price have no right to the accumulated savings of another. Do you realize that as soon as you label the unwillingness to share accumulated savings as 'small-minded,' you are actually mocking the discipline and self-control that savers have exhibited? Is it perhaps because you have not been able to muster this discipline yourself, Helene? People who save generally also cope with their own setbacks, do not rely on social services when things go wrong, and show moral character in that respect. What you are doing here, trying to instill a sense of shame in savers, as if the saver is a miser and the non-saver is a victim, is truly dishonorable, narrow-minded, and small-minded. Yuck! #sparen #disciplinedelevensstijl #financieelgezond (translated)
