A son wanted pocket money, so he said to his mother: "Mom, starting from next month, can you give me 300 yuan of pocket money every month?"
The mother readily replied: "Son, Mom can give it to you. ! But you have to tell me, how do you plan to use your pocket money? ”
My son said, I want to save it for myself and buy what I want in the future.
The mother said that her son has grown up now, and he has his own ideas. From then on, your mother will give you 300 yuan pocket money on the 10th of every month.
Then his mother transferred 6,850 yuan to him.
The son was shocked when he saw it and asked his mother, why are you transferring so much money to me now?
Mom replied, isn't this the New Year's money you gave me a few days ago and asked me to keep it for you? Mom thinks you have grown up and have your own ideas! So allocate this money yourself.
The son said, okay, mom, then I will save it carefully and not spend it randomly.
Then my mother said, dear son, since we talked about money today, my mother has a few questions about money and wants to test you, okay?
The son said, of course, mom, just ask.
Mom said, Which do you think is more important, money or life?
The son replied, of course it is life, because the value of life is always higher than money!
Mom went on to say, yes, so the first thing Mom wants to tell you is that people can't risk their lives for money, but they can sacrifice money for their lives. You must understand this.
The son said, Mom, I understand this, but what about the second one?
Mom said, son, do you believe in unexpected windfall?
The son said, I think there is no such thing as pie in the sky. Behind the unexpected windfall may be a painful price.
’s mother said, yes, so as long as we are not greedy and do not take advantage of others, we will not be caught and pay a greater price.
The son nodded and added, so there is no free lunch in the world, no reward for no merit!
The mother touched her son's head with satisfaction and said, I didn't expect you to understand so many truths. Son, you are great. My mother is very pleased!
Then, the mother asked her son a third question: If there is one thing that is cheap but dispensable, and another thing that is expensive, but it would be nice to have it, if you were asked to choose, how would you choose?
My son said, Mom, this must be expensive. This is why I want to save money now!
's mother said, "The choice is very good. Son, you have to remember that we should not often buy things that we shouldn't buy just because they are cheap." And don’t give up on having this wonderful thing just because it’s expensive.
My son said, I know that cheap and dispensable things are often of no use and waste money. But expensive but useful things, although a bit expensive when you buy them, are very practical and worth the money.
The mother asked her son a fourth question. Do you think it is more important to reserve money or to reserve knowledge and wisdom?
’s son said, I think both are important, but if I can only choose one, then knowledge and wisdom are more important.
’s mother added that the knowledge and wisdom you have accumulated, as well as the temperament and abilities you have developed, are more valuable than the math on your bank card.
The son said, Mom, I understand. If you have stored enough knowledge and wisdom, you will naturally have the ability to store money.
Mom went on to say, yes, son, so when the choice between the two arises, Mom hopes that you can put your studies first.
Mom asked the last question: If you want to spend a sum of money, do you choose to have fun or study? What would you choose?
My son said, I definitely choose to study, because investing in learning means investing in future happiness, which is more worthwhile than enjoying the present.
and you said that everyone must learn to make money based on strength, make money based on wisdom, and spend money based on balance, so that you will not be short of money in your life.
Mom said, that’s right, son, As long as we establish a correct view of money, we will truly have no shortage of money.
This mother is so wise. Her approach is very worthy of learning and learning from all of us. Real love needs guidance. I hope we can all learn to guide correctly so that our children can grow up healthy and healthy!
