MONEY AND RELATIONSHIPS

Be prudent as well as humane when dealing with people about money as it is something which can make or break relationships, says Shivi Verma

We need, crave, and love money. But we also harmony and love good relationships with others.

Have you seen how often both of these clash? No sooner money gets involved in relationships than the situation becomes either fragile or volatile if not handled with extreme care, sincerity, and honesty. There are cases galore of children, siblings, or friends betraying their loved ones for money. Property and inheritance issues have driven a wedge between families and blood ties. In extreme cases, even lives have been lost over money. Hearts get broken, faith gets destroyed, disappointment and bitterness sets in, and relationships get fractured forever if money issues are not dealt with wisely and with integrity. So then, how do we walk the treacherous terrain of money and relationships?
