My Money Vs. My Parents' Money

Image taken from the internet

I talked to a work associate about one family matter.

My mother is into sales and my father had been working in a well providing company.

Since I want my parents to prepare for their upcoming retirement.

I have the tendency to mind how my parents are spending their money.

As we exchanged stories my associate gave me a better perspective in how she would look at it.

She narrated to me her story.

When she was still a student she had wanted a lot of her parents' things to be better given or thrown away.

She sees it useless to have things laying around.

But when she started working and started buying the things she like to have.

She found out her parents point of view about why they wanted to keep those 'useless' things around.

It is because it is difficult to let go of things that has value to you. Things that you bought out of your labor.

Indeed her story help me see things. It sets me to be at peace with my parents' spending habits.

Yes, as part of the family I may give suggestion but it would not matter if they would accept or reject it.

Because as my parents earned their money so they have the right as to how they would spend it.

You are booked for greatness,
