4. Fear of being perceived as ‘too rich’
Add this perception with the principle of giving, and you sort of becoming the person everyone comes to for help. Not that I am saying you shouldn’t give to a worthy cause or lend a helping hand financially if you have the means to do so. However, bear in mind that you may be called too many times to make more contribution or become the go-to-lender within your family or social network if this perception sticks. It gets harder if you are the type who can’t say ‘No’ and often times, saying ‘No’ may be construed as you being arrogant.
