People do confuse the word stingy and miser to be the same thing but no, they are clearly different.....
A stingy person is someone who spend on himself but not ready to spend on others, he will never share his things with others no matter how small it is, we can also call them selfish people because they only care about themselves....
Meanwhile a miser is someone who doesn't spend on others and himself, he just want to hold and keep all the money, even though he have the money you will never see him eat something that is very expensive or put on expensive wears....
We have naturally stingy people and we also have some people that situation made them stingy, there are some people that thinks ahead and always calculate their expenses and have a budget of how they spend their money..... Imagine asking someone that survives on an income of 20 dollars per month [7400 naira] to give you out of the money, though a giving heart will still give you and bear the repercussion alone but someone who loves himself and care less about others won't give you a dime because the money is not enough for him too...
When you ask people like this for help once or twice and they refused to give, people start to tag them as a stingy person but they also have a lot they are facing so i don't really think they are stingy, they just choose to prioritize themselves.....
A naturally stingy person will have enough still won't give out, it is in their gene not to give people their money or things, it pains them to their bone marrow when you snatch their money or things from them when they are not willing to give you.
While a greedy person is someone who want everything for themselves, greed is much more worse than stinginess, atleast a stingy person only keep his thing from others but a greedy person would go to any length to possess things that is not for them....
Evil lives in the heart of a greedy person because they have no control over their longings and desire and they will do whatever it takes just to get their hand on it...
A greedy person have no empathy so you really want to stay far away from them, they can't be a good business partner because they would never be satisfied with their share alone, they also want the shares of others, infact they want everything...
It all start from wanting from other's share of food or wanting a bigger share when you and your friends help someone and you were rewarded for it...
They are dangerous and you don't want to have anything that involves money to do with them.....
I have encountered a stingy person when i was still in school, he was my class mate and this boy never gives his money out, he plays but whenever he brings out money or want to eat, that is when you will know he is a very serious person because he will just start frowning and just that alone is a turn off for those who want to beg him for money or food...
There are also very serious beggars in the class, if you like frown from now till tomorrow, it won't stop them from begging .. So even with the way the boy frown they still approach him but the answer is no, he never gives them anything and later they just stop begging him since they know their effort would be in Vain and they end up labelling him as a stingy boy...
Like i said, he may not be a naturally stingy person but instead situation in his home made him that way but i never can tell because i was not that close to him...
All i can tell is that, He was a stingy boy who got a Medal from his classmate.. lol

Giving up is not an option, every hustler has a pay day
Don't wish for it, Make it happen
Whether stinginess or greediness, to me both are bad traits that we human should be conscious of, of course there will be situation where giving out at that point can be really painful and uncomfortable, that's where the widows might comes into play, we should be rational knowing when to hold and when to sacrifice, as for the greedy ones, their case is on another level.
yea both are bad and no matter how hard it is, we should still be able to give out of the little we have, i agree with you dee😊
Your personal experience with a stingy classmate truly exemplifies the characteristics of a stingy person. It is unfortunate that some people have become stingy due to their life situations, but it is important to remember that ultimately, it is their choice to prioritize themselves over others.
well self love is important, we have many users in the world, they just collect and collect and when you are empty, they end up leaving... so i really won't blame those who are stingy due to their situation...
Sure, you are right. That is why we should not always blame those uncles who left the families and never returned; sometimes it's due to the situation at home😆.
In other situations too, you just need some level of sacrifice. Someone can give his/her last coin out and go hungry just to feel the satisfaction of giving. We should always know that, what ever you give out as charity comes back in folds
now that we have now become uncle too, we can relate to the pressure😁
yes, we have the generous people who can give out even when it will affect them...no good deed goes unrewarded.. thanks man
I also encountered one very stingy person at my workplace. I think she was naturally like that and her brain was wired that way. Most of the tricks (we didn't try all!) under the sun couldn't change her behavior.
There's a good part to it but sometimes the bad part can be over done.
you are sure she has more than enough to give but just born to be stingy? it is hard to tell those who have problems hence became stingy from those who are just naturally stingy....
Yes something like that. Indeed, it's hard to tell. I think naturally stingy people do it unconsciously or subconsciously while those who had problems that made them stingy do it semi consciously.
There are naturally stingy individuals as you said bro, but a naturally stingy person can change his ways with time. If a person begins to tell him how is important to be a giver.
I think giving out is a gift some can give you their last kobo, while some will tell you every money counts.
But I don't like greedy people, I can still manage a stingy person, but I can't manage a greedy person.
Greed is a very bad thing bro.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
yea you are right anyone can change with the right people around them, greedy people can be desperate and destroy anyone that becomes an obstacle for them.. i can never have a business deal with someone i see such trait in
We should run from them bro
Being stingy and greedy are bad acts and just like you have said, one may not know the entire truth behind someone who is selfish because they have their reasons but there are those who are chronically selfish right from time. Lol
These ones ehn,,, they are something else and I de-associate myself from them. I have an ex-boyfriend like that too. Lol
ah you dated a stingy guy, i am sure you will never enjoy that relationship or how was it?😁
Enjoy wetin? for a guy to be selfish for good four years.... na.. I comot forever 😆He never spent a dime on me and if I ask, he won´t give me. Same to other people.
wow 4 years without nothing? does not give you money at all? 4 years for real?
No kobo dropped from his hand to me.... he will only be collecting from me. I was naive then and was just a small girl of 15yrs then. Lol
oh now i understand, first love kind of relationship, just 4 years is too long to be with such a person, good you finally break up and moved on
Exactly! You are right. Na first love wey dey shark me for head until I realized the path I was threading on 😂
Chronic selfish? 😂🤣🤣
Yes oo 😂😂 Their own selfishness is of another level entirely.
Here i was thinking greed and stingy are the same thing. Thanks for throwing more light on it🙂 @burlarj
you are welcome😊
Some people are actually greedy in nature and once someone is greedy they will definitely be stingy.
You are absolutely right that some people are not just stingy situation makes them because some people might have taken their generosity for granted and then that person will turn deaf hear to another person coming his way
And now people will think he's stingy
I am not perfect too and it is not everyone I was able to help as well but the once 🔂 could help I did my best for them.
you get it right, greediness lead to stinginess because they always want more and never want to path with the one they already have...
You are doing great dear.. Ofcourse we can't help the whole world but to the few we can, we should not hesitate to offer the little we can to them

You made me laugh with the beggars part in school, even when you spit in your food, I know those who will still eat out of it back then.
You have defined being stingy and a miser perfectly. I think greed is the master of them because it leads people to problems.
Some people are true because of the situation of things and it's good not to just assume someone is stingy when we don't know how okay that are.
yea i know some people like that too that doesn't care about whatever irritating thing you do inside your food, they will still eat out of it 😁
Indeed, situation makes one to be stingy but naturally they aren't . Your classmate is such a stingy person 😂
Some people got A1 in stingyness naturally but having both traits speaks bad of a person.
I didn't know there is different btw miser and Stingyness
Thanks for the enlightenment
it is when some people get money we will know their true character lol.... But during hardship it is hard to tell cos everyone just want to survive😊
Exactly... survival of the fittest
You are right about how people behave and why they behave so. But the fact still remains that some people needs our help, it doesn't matter what we have gone through before now. We need to let that pass.
Thanks for sharing.
i agree with you, no matter the situation we are facing, we can still be kind to others with the little we have
You are right - one's circumstance or experiences could cause one to be stingy. Greed is a deadly for a reason - that category of people cannot be saved.
I have a few stingy relatives who come to our place- we spend and if we go to theirs - then also we have to spend. Such is life.
we should not be like that, i deem it fit to always entertain my visitors but i am surprised that many people don't offer their visitors drinks or other stuff to welcome them... though the country is hard and economy not so good but that should not stop us from doing the right thing
