‎Thank you @africansonsteem for bringing up this phrase for us to discuss in the comment section. @suryati1 has really dealt well with how we ought to be very sensitive in spending money, especially homekeepers.

‎ Now, my contribution will start with a question. ## Has anyone ever lost count when counting money? Counting money is never easy, especially when you have been given a bundle of 100 pieces to confirm if it is complete. On several occasions, my father will call me to assist him in counting his money. Hmmm! Trust me, the first time will be 101 pieces after counting. The second time, maybe 100 or 99 pieces. So, I usually count the money up to four times before giving him feedback. In order to avoid miscounting, I usually stay in a quiet environment to count, count out loud or arrange the money in tens when counting. This enables me to avoid repeated counting and making mistakes in counting money. One has to be very sensitive when dealing with money, especially when receiving money to carry out a project or make purchases. Always count the money in the presence of the person giving the money for accountability's sake. So many persons of good character have received insults and unwanted scandals due to negligence in counting money. So, let's be sensitive and accountable in dealing with money. If we can't count properly by ourselves, let's use a counting machine to avoid embarrassments. I will like to invite @chilaw, @okere-blessing, @mercybliss and @kyrie1234 #newcomer #engagementparty #comment #steemexclusive #nigeria
