Many children will get lucky money from their elders during the New Year, ranging from a few hundred yuan to thousands. A year later, the children have become "little millionaires". Recently, however, some media reported that many children squandered the lucky money after they got it. Even five children spent more than 30 thousand a day. Children spend so much money. Parents who give their children lucky money may not want to see it.
Originally, I thought that although the problem lies with the children, when parents are held accountable, parents should clearly tell their children that the lucky money is also their parents' money and cannot be squandered. Giving lucky money during the New Year is a traditional custom in China, which is not only a symbol of affection, friendship and courtesy, but also a festive atmosphere in the New Year. The lucky money is ostensibly for children, but in fact it is also for adults. Otherwise, children who are not sensible will think that the lucky money is for themselves and they have the right to use it independently, so they spend a lot of money and make astronomical figures of tens of thousands of yuan a day. Telling children that the lucky money belongs to their parents means telling them not to abuse it and educating them to take good care of it.
In the past, the economic conditions were poor and there were not many lucky money. Now that the conditions are good and people are generous, the market for giving children lucky money is also rising year by year. The lucky money has become a lot of wealth. Parents have the responsibility to take this opportunity to tell their children about the family's economic situation and the hardships of their parents' starting a business, and to carry out the education of "recalling the bitter and thinking sweet" and educate their children not to lose themselves in the face of the extravagance and money worship in the current society. Let children know the dangers of spending money indiscriminately, don't develop the bad habits of getting something for nothing, loving rest and hating work, and establish a correct consumption concept.
