“104th story”
First published: Aug.15.2019
A rich man didn’t enjoy life in terms of spending his money.
He didn’t spend any money on himself, or his wife, clothes, vacations, restaurants, not even donating to charity.
He only liked to put money in the bank in a joint account with his wife and spent the income of the interest on the money.
His wife was always complaining but her rich husband’s answer was always the same: “There will be enough time to waste the money, now that I am young, I must collect money. Who will take care of us in our old days?”
Years passed and life was always very hard for the wife but she loved him enough to stay patient and just live an average life, even though they were very wealthy.
They got older and the rich man became sick. Doctors told him that he didn’t have much time and he should enjoy the remaining of the short period, of his life.
His wife complained again and said: “Now it’s time to go around the world with this money and enjoy our last months of being together by making great memories that will last.”
But he refused and couldn’t spend his money.
She asked: “What was the purpose of working and collecting all this wealth? What are you going to do with all of these fortunes if you are not going to spend a penny of it?”
He replied: “I am going to write my will after all the properties get transformed into cash. You have been a great wife for all these years so I am leaving you this house and a quarter of all my cash.”
“What are you going to do with the remaining three-quarters of the money?” She asked.
He said: “I would like you to bury them with me please, what if the Pharaoh were right and we need money to where we are going after death.”
The rich man died and at his funeral, his smart wife wrote a cheque for the amount of the three-quarters of the cash and left it in her husband’s coffin.”
She did the right thing at the end and she probably have had spent good amount of money before she died , stupid guy.
Love you.

This had me bursting into laughter …. smart woman, I should say! You grabbed my attention Laleh! 🙂
Thanks so much dear, means a lot.
Superbly brilliant! You write simple but it has a great message… I know so many close to me leading the very life… Rather some now so old and so sick that even if they want to do something … They can’t! Life’s made them helpless … Worthless …really! I hope people get the deeper message and make changes if it’s one one of them 🌸
So true, some need money and some who has it don’t use it. Appreciate your kindness dear.
Have you ever seen any of them change their ways? Wonder what could change their mind

This was an amusing story, Laleh. Usually, people who are this stingy were once touched by poverty at some time in their lives. I admire your prowess at storytelling, and its commentary on real life.
Thanks so much dear for your kind words. It mean a lot.
I know someone like this who was touched by poverty too, wonder if he will ever see past the money. If he will ever have enough to feel safe
What a waste! Money well spent when we are alive can never be equal to that which is spent after we die. Great story
There’s still people like that and it’s so unfortunate. Thanks dear.🌺
You’re welcome! Yes, there are many like these.

This story provokes reflection. It teaches that it is not worth being greedy and that money is there to make life better. I will try to post this story on my blog if you please.
