Try frugal gift-giving
送禮從簡(jiǎn)
Giving people gifts is one of the most wonderful traditions, as it shows generosity and caring. Until it becomes commercialized. Then it's just really really expensive. Instead, try giving the gift of spending time with someone. Try giving them something you baked or made yourself. Try giving them services they'd appreciate. It doesn't have to cost a lot to be generous.
送禮是我們的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)之一，因?yàn)樗磉_(dá)了你對(duì)他人的慷慨和關(guān)愛(ài)之情。但隨著送禮商業(yè)化，禮物貴得越來(lái)越離譜了。那么，就換種方式吧·嘗試多陪陪他入，這也是一種禮物；或者送給他們你親手烘倍或制作的東西;要不然還可以試著提供他們會(huì)喜歡的服務(wù)。總之，你不需要通過(guò)花錢來(lái)顯示自己有多么大方。
Teach your kids about advertising, saving, earning, and gift-giving
教育你的孩子，讓他們明白什么是廣告、儲(chǔ)蓄、收入、和送禮
If you have kids, educating them about money will save you a lot of money in the long run. If they know about how advertising influences them in tricky ways, they'll be less likely to demand (OK, beg and plead for) the latest fad toys. If they know about saving and earning money, they'll respect the money that you earn, and that you are trying to save. If they know that gift-giving doesn't have to be about spending a lot of money, they won't necessarily want expensive stuff.
如果你有孩子，你要告訴他們，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的角度看，錢能生財(cái)。如果他們能看透廣告是如何狡猾地誘使他們買東西的話，他們也許就不太會(huì)要求你買（應(yīng)該是苦苦央求你買）最新流行的玩具。如果他們了解什么是存錢和掙錢，他們就會(huì)懂得你掙錢的辛苦和努力存錢的苦心。如果他們明白送禮并不一定要花很多錢，他們就不再只要昂貴的禮物了。
