I’m Not Ashamed to Beg For Kofi Money
It’s not about the money, honey
Some people have chastised those of us who include Kofi links or the new sign-up referral links. They have called it undignified, coarse, even shameful.
Those judgmental folks have been shamed themselves by people who are clinging to the edge, struggling to survive, people who truly need any money they can scrape from their cruel reality.
And then we have people like me, people quite comfortably living in a wealthy country in our own homes, driving new cars, with good piles of savings, stocks, and more. People seemingly without a care in the world who put those bits of beggary at the end of their posts.
What’s up with that?
It’s not about money
This is funny: I’ve given out a hundred times more Kofi money than I’ve taken in.
It’s not about money at all. I don’t need this money, not any of it. I make more money from stock dividends than I will ever make from Kofi or sign-up referrals and those dividends aren’t even enough to pay for our groceries. This begging money is truly unimportant to my finances.
