Tanya got out of prison and found out her sister, Danica had been dumped by the man she wanted to marry. Danica loved him, she wanted to marry him, she made wedding preparations but got dumped on the same day she bought her wedding gown. She did not allow herself to cry or try to wear her emotions on her sleeves, and soon, got swooned into an online relationship.

It lasted for a year and she did not see the guy because he got all of those excuses of being up in an oil rig, and never having wifi access. Something she put up with as an understanding girlfriend until her sister returned and told her she had been catfished.
Tanya made it possible for her to realize that she was dealing with a fraudster and that the human lived a few blocks away and in a trailer too. So, Tanya like every other woman who had wanted love and found a seducing one online realized, she had been scammed by an online prince.
However, while she was dealing with the whole situation, she finally gave her space to the man, Frank, who had been trying to get her attention for over a year too. Someone she kept telling she had a boyfriend. During their discussion and trying to help her feel better, he said a few things to her that made a lot of sense.
She did not think she was going to need it until she got to the office and she had to come up with an ad for a company branding and product called the List. When everyone couldn't come up with a good ad, she used a few words and added some of the details that Frank told her. It was impressive.
I am not sharing this script because I want to give you spoilers, hoping that you will see the movie or even tell me that you have. It's only here, before when Danica did the magic with words in her office, I remembered that I had someone in my life who happens to be my muse. Not just because I talk about him in my posts, but because there are nights that I struggle with writer's block and once he calls to check up on me and asks if I have published anything, he always finds a way to drop lines that I pick up unconsciously and run a whole post around.
It's simply beautiful to have that kind of support. It's not all the time that love has to be proven through gifts and money. Love, if given the chance can help us step up and move up the ladder of life, achievement, and success. It could take a few words from the love of our lives to set the balls of our career rolling and it could also take a few words to set the life of our career rolling down to stagnation.
The trick is to find a kind person, the one who respects you, and your wishes and supports your dreams so much that even the things they utter unconsciously help you turn the pages of your life. It could set the ball rolling in your finances too. I am saying this because Danica being able to come up with those ad words means if the client loves the results, the company gets to make money, and she gets to make money too, and possibly a promotion will be in handy.
When you are choosing someone to befriend, to love, to marry, try not to see the present alone, take a bird eye view and try to predict if they will be the reason your net worth goes down the drain or they will the ones who will help you grow your wealth. I imagined if Tanya did not set Danica free from the fraudster, it wouldn't be long before he would start making demands and because she had been roped in for so long, she would believe she was doing what was best for both of them and start sending money that doesn't bring any positive results. And so all her earnings will be going down the drain instead of possibly chilling in an investment account rolling out ROI's.
Your partner will either make you rich or poor. Figuring out which one they will bring to the table is left to you. This is not something I can tell you. You'll need to wrap up all of your experiences and that of others and make the right decision. And making this choice will require having a good grasp of your financial education. You will not be able to make better love decisions that will help you build wealth if you don't understand how money works. You might continue to slave away in the name of being understanding or hoping that God's time is the best. Of course, God's time is always the best but it is said that God only helps those who help themselves.
