In today’s world, financial intelligence isn’t just about having money—it’s about how people perceive your relationship with it. And often, that perception isn’t shaped by your net worth, credit score, or bank balance. Instead, it’s influenced by small, seemingly innocuous decisions you make every day.

When financial success enters the picture, some people see it as an opportunity to cash in on someone else’s blessings.
