A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 36 7 Let him spend two cents, stay away from the haggling like a miser
The waste collectors are shouting downstairs, and the newspapers and plastic bottles that are usually accumulated can finally come in handy. "Let's go! Let's sell waste products!" The father said and took the child to find waste paper and bottles, and the child was very busy with it.

The quantity of newspapers and bottles is considerable, but the waste collectors are very strict about the weighing, and the price is not good.

"Why is the price of newspapers so low? It wasn't like this before." Dad felt that he had suffered a loss.

"With the current financial crisis, we have a hard time collecting waste products, and the price is not as good as before. It is estimated that no one will do it for a while."

"That can't be like this, you might as well just go to the trash can and pick it up yourself."

"If you don't want to sell it, forget it. It's the current price. I don't believe you can sell it at a high price."

"Let's go, let's go back!" The father led the child to go upstairs, the waste collectors were dumbfounded, and the child was also confused, not knowing whether to go or not.

Children might not like such a father.

Although we advocate that fathers should lead by example when giving financial education to their children, and be hardworking and frugal, etc., but in some small things, fathers should still retain a romantic "hero image" and pay every penny when selling waste products , It is inevitable that he will lose his identity as a hero.

In fact, everyone has a romantic reverie in their minds, but as we grow older, we all become more and more realistic.In the minds of children, father is a tall image, generous, helpful and full of strength.What's more, father seldom cares about things like selling waste products and buying vegetables. If he participates once in a while, he doesn't need to worry too much. The important thing is to experience the joy of labor with his children.When you care too much about whether the change others give you is less than a dime, the fun of labor will be transferred to counting money, which is a very disappointing thing for children.

Especially when the child is in adolescence, the most sensitive thing is his own "face". If the father seems to be stingy everywhere, the child will feel that he has no face. This is human nature, and the father should be able to understand this vanity.What's more, the important thing about financial management education is how to exchange wealth for happiness, not the few cents.

In fact, it is secondary for the father to care about and destroy the child's "beauty". The most important thing is that if the father infects the child with this caressing style, the child is likely to become a cheapskate and have no friends.

Some children often buy snacks at school, but they do not share them with other children. If others want to taste them, they have to give him the money proportionally.This kind of child is the most annoying.When children enter the society, it is inevitable that they will suffer some losses and be deceived. This is a compulsory course for the growth of life.If you are too preoccupied, you will ignore the lessons behind the loss, become more stingy, and form a bad character.

The father is more generous, and the children will learn to be generous, and in such a sharing society, generous people will be popular.
