[Alexandr Korol]

You can’t live like a king. You can’t waste money if you don’t have much. You shouldn’t buy water for a thousand rubles if you have a small salary. You’re not ready for such luxuries yet. Of course, you should strive for quality, but in moderation. You can’t buy an expensive Wi-Fi setup if you don’t have the money; just use a SIM card. Imagine a person who always complains about not having enough money, yet constantly orders expensive food delivery. And not the cheapest either. A rich man, right? Another person would go by foot, buy the food, and save some money. Yes, it’s a bit, but it’s necessary for him. Of course, we live in different worlds, but I’m talking about those who complain about money. They should do it this way. Now, imagine this scenario: this is my employee, and he’s doing something important for me, which means it’s urgent. And imagine, the person finishes the job but doesn’t return home, coming back late. You ask him, “Why?” And he answers, “I saved money.” Imagine how cunningly the demon manipulated him. The demon made him want to wander around, and under the pretext of saving money, he turned it into an outing. Isn’t that clever? But the real trick is that even if you justify yourself by saying that you’re saving money, your excuse seems very beautiful and substantial. That’s how the devil deceives you, and you try to justify this to others and to God. But God, He knows the mathematics and sees that at that moment you were tuning into the frequency of confusion and indulging in what’s comfortable for you. And you enjoy wandering around, which makes you duller, and you know it. Yet, you allowed yourself to do it anyway because you changed the cover, using the excuse of saving money. Even though you should save your own money. And in this case, did I not provide the money for the trip if it was for my task? Well, I did, didn’t I? You see? That’s how the cunning demon manipulates and deceives you all. And then you wonder why and how things turn out this way.
And you really can distort everything. The devil always tries to permit what should actually be avoided, but he always finds a convincing reason. Here’s another example. Imagine you have a super important exam, or tomorrow you have a meeting with your boss. And today you decide to go out of town for a barbecue. Naturally, you understand that now is not the time for that, and you’re not God to allow yourself such luxury. And you do it anyway. I catch you on this, and you wake up the next day only at two in the afternoon. And I ask, “What the hell happened?” And you know what turns out? “Alexandr, but you said we should be thankful to people. And it was a meeting with the accountant. So, I decided to show my gratitude by inviting him to dinner.” You see?
