4.8 - Be generous

This one is small in absolute dollars and big in what it does to you.

Where it's culturally expected, tip well. When you can afford to, tip more than required. The person serving you is making a small amount of money for hard work, and a generous tip can make their day in a way the equivalent amount won't make a dent in yours.

Don't bargain over small amounts with people who have less than you. You can negotiate a car purchase. You can negotiate a salary. You don't need to negotiate with the street vendor over a couple of dollars. The signal you send to yourself when you scrape over small amounts with people who don't have much is: "I don't trust there's enough." That signal compounds.

Help where you can. Pick up the check sometimes. Give to people who need it. Share what you have when sharing matters. Generosity is not naive; it's one of the strongest signals you can send to yourself and to the world that there is enough, and more is coming.

All of these are small financial decisions, and none of them are really about the money. They're about the mindset you're practicing. People who tip well and don't haggle over small amounts with people who can't afford to give them up are practicing abundance in a daily, embodied way. Over years, that practice changes how money flows in your direction too.
