本书的最后一章,How much is enough?一看标题我就乐了,好几年前,跟同事聊天时
,我说,我是世界上最有钱的人。正在吃午饭的她,吓得没把饭盒扔地上,嘴巴长得老
大。
是啊,因为我有足够的钱,哈哈哈。
我们都有priority list,如何利用有限的资金,达到自己的目的,让自己过得快乐,
实现人生理想和目标。我想,即使比尔盖兹也是如此吧?他应该也有自己的priority
list。你如何花钱,在什么地方花钱最多,最爽气,就体现出,你的人生观,价值观。
书里说到有个家庭,卖掉以前住的大房子,搬到附近一个不是很富裕的镇子,住在一所
小房子里。父母对孩子们说,因为他们酷爱旅游,所以希望把省下来的钱,花在旅行上
,孩子们一直赞成,没有怨言。
书里还讲到一个“笑话”,有一家人住在康州Greenwich的一所大宅子里。有一次夏天
断电,父亲坚决不让买发电机,家里没有电灯和空调。他说,要让孩子们常常“受苦”
的滋味。哈哈哈
"One of the profound challenges of having kids is that raising them isn't
simply about shaping their financial values and decision-making skills.
Teaching them means questioning our own priorities as well, which is a
healthy thing to do in any event."
最后,作者说,"We have no idea whether our daughter will grow up to be a
dancer or a banker. We have no control over how much money she will make.
But
we can influence how she will think about whatever she has by being honest
about what we do with our own money now. she should know how to save but
also how and when to splurge. She should know how to protect herself, too,
from her own feelings about money and those of others who might manipulate
her. It is an essential part of parenting, even more so than getting her
ready for standardized tests or her driver's license exam."
Happy parenting, my dear. Welcome to the parenthood! |
