Idk where I heard this from, but a rich guy once said that "poor people have so much pride when it comes to taking money. If a billionaire offers to hand me a million, I'd gladly take it." And it hasn't left my head since. These chapters really remind me of that.
I know that relying on someone for money can be tricky and can make the relationship unequal, but refusing monetary help because it hurts your pride is definitely putting too much importance in money in a different way. Like your relationship can't be so fragile that some money will throw it off balance.
