How far do you think parents can be thrifty?

My mother-in-law was so frugal that she couldn't do anything and turned the room into a garbage dump. My mother-in-law is from a rural area in Henan, and since I was confined, she came to serve the child for six months, and she was reluctant to throw away anything, so she lived in an empty house like this. My father-in-law can also stand it, as a woman, how can she not even have the basic ability to clean up, and she does not allow others to get her room.

One time I helped her clean up her room, and then she said she had lost her earrings, and my lungs exploded and I vowed never to go into her room again. I was really speechless for her, and there were a lot of old clothes in the house. Every morning when I came back from a walk, I brought back several plastic bags, which were full of old clothes, and asked her where she came from, she said that her neighbors didn't want them, and she picked them up and went back to the village to send them to others.

I told my husband about her many times, but to no avail. I bought the cabinet door for 2,000 yuan, only to find that she had made a hole and hung up her clothes. The cabinet was stuffed to the brim, and when I pushed down the door, everything came out.

The room was littered with discarded newspapers and empty drink bottles. All the things I threw at the door, snuck into her room. The smell of the house is very head-wrenching.

My sister is the eldest in the family, and the age difference between me and the eldest is nearly ten years old. She was already working outside the home when I was younger, and she was already married when I was older, so I didn't interact with her much. It turned out that my sister always complained that I was spending money lavishly, and I was always unconvinced, because compared to my peers, I felt that I was more frugal than the average person.

My sister cooks for an engineering team on a construction site near my home, and I was fortunate enough to see her frugality. Every day, she collects the leftovers poured by the workers on the construction site to raise chickens, and collects the wine bottles, cardboard boxes and other rags that the workers throw away and sells them for money. Every Sunday off when I went to see her, she always instructed me to take the collected rags to the yard and sell them, knowing that there were rags downstairs every day.

Before selling, the carton should be flattened and packed, and even the rope used to tie the carton is cut from old clothes, you may not believe it, sometimes I cut the old cloth strip wider and have to be scolded by her for a long time.

My mother-in-law, eat very economically, whether it is leftover vegetable residue or leftover porridge to keep to eat, this meal can not be eaten next meal, expired steamed buns also have to eat, washing clothes in the washing machine is not half of the clothes, she said as long as it is wet, it is good to save water, like he said that cooking rice and eating raw rice, anyway, it is particularly special to save, I feel that this excessive saving is a disease.

I remember when I first drove to my husband's house, my husband and I were at my parents' house for the Chinese New Year. When I got home, I saw my mother-in-law cooking, using the oil accumulated in the range hood. At that time, I was really uncomfortable, but during the meal, I didn't say anything, tried to avoid all the stir-fried dishes, and of course my in-laws must let me eat some.

But on the way home, I told my husband to let my husband usually go home more often, prepare some good food and meat for the old couple, don't let the old parents be so frugal, for the child, it is really a sad feeling.

Parents can go 4, 5 years without buying new clothes. Ten years in the home can not add new furniture.

It is easy for none of the parents in the world, and my mother only goes to the street once a year.

My parents are not in good health and are not working. I go home once a week on vacation and prepare a week's worth of food for them. But every time I go back, I find that the fried vegetables when I went last week are still hot for my dad to eat.

This made me very uneasy, and I secretly poured it out for him every time. I feel that my parents are so old, and they have eaten bad bodies for that little lettuce. So it's very skeptical every time.

Hello subject! I bought an air conditioner for my parents, but they hardly used it for the sake of frugality, only the fan.

Thrift is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, parents are the same, how they are willing to be thrifty is their own business, I will not interfere too much with them, sometimes they are too thrifty to see some things I like but are reluctant to buy, then I will buy them directly home to them.

I can't get to know the specifics of each parent, but I can talk about why some parents are more frugal

1.Economic situation: Some parents may come from poorer families, so they will actively control family expenses and educate their children on how to manage the family economy reasonably when their children grow up.

2.Attitude to life: Some parents may be more pragmatic and meritocratic, and they think that spending a lot of money to meet their children's luxury needs is wasteful and unrealistic. They want their children to develop a frugal attitude and spending habits.

3.Cultural inheritance: Different cultures have different family concepts and consumption concepts.

For some parents, the traditional culture, life attitude and consumption concept of the family will be passed on to their children in the process of their children's growth. For example, family education in some East Asian regions focuses on frugality and frugality.

4.Educational significance: Some parents put providing educational opportunities for their children first, they believe that good schools and good education quality are the key to their children's future development, so they cut some expenses to save money to ensure that their children can go to good schools and receive a good education.

5.Personality characteristics: Some parents who pay more attention to saving and financial management will also advocate frugal life in the family, and take financial management and resource protection as their own life philosophy to guide their children to learn to save and manage money in life.

Of course, the frugality of parents is not necessarily good, and there may be some things that cannot be spent to give children a better experience, such as education, playing ball, etc., if the children need to spend too little, it may affect the growth of children. Therefore, if the child does not understand the frugal behavior of the parents, it is also necessary to communicate and agree with the parents.

The food and clothing of the parents' generation were all based on frugality.

1.The standard of living is relatively low: the standard of living of my parents' generation is lower than it is now, and people's consumption concepts are relatively simple.

And at that time, prices were relatively low, so the same income could support a longer period of life, and I managed to save a certain amount of money.

2.I was reluctant to spend money, so in order to save a few dollars, I took the bus and ran a long way to buy vegetables and meat. I rarely eat rice outside, I cook it at home, and I think that eating out is a waste of money.

Duan Hu told the people who came from that starvation era, they are actually very easy to understand and have no sense of security.

3.For the sake of children, save money and be reluctant to spend money, as the parents of contemporary young people, the post-50s and post-60s and post-70s are used to living hard days when they were children. Now that incomes have increased and living standards have risen, the habit of saving has remained

I hardly go out to eat, I never go out to eat, I often eat leftovers when I cook a little more for lunch and dinner, and I am reluctant to buy a new dress all year round, and I pick out my children's old clothes to wear ......

4.Whatever is broken is repaired, and now whatever is broken is bought new.

So the savings accumulated from the little details are almost nine-tenths of the money earned.

Because my parents have experienced many difficult moments, some have no money to live, and sometimes they have no food to eat, and only by being diligent and thrifty can the family be better.

The days of the past were too hard, so they were frugal.
