Playing the Playboy
I met a long lost friend who was the survivor of five failed marriages and a few financial setbacks. He had managed to continue with his flamboyant lifestyle, although drastically reduced from “his good old days” to a more modest one
Before we parted to go our different ways he insisted on giving me one piece of advice he said had helped him maintain his lifestyle and his positive mindset. It had been given to him by a successful international playboy.
He said, “You never give change — You only accept it!”
He further explained, “If the bill comes to $16.57 don’t search your pockets for the change; hand them $20 and take back the change.”
“The first way if you search for the change you look like a penny pincher and nobody likes looking like one.
The second way you look like a financially successful person and they always command respect.
It’s simple and highly effective. You should try it and reap the rewards.”
I thought this makes some sense so I thought I would try it.
I did and got some very good positive results. However, I should have asked him what I do with all this spare change I am getting.
