hi there !!!
Explanation:
It’s no secret that my parents had a HUGE impact on the person I am today. In fact, I’d say they were the biggest reason I’m so passionate about personal finance and development.
I remember walking around department stores with my mom when I was a kid and watching her negotiate for EVERYTHING. It didn’t matter if it was a new shirt for me or laundry detergent at the grocery store. She was always ready to throw down the gauntlet and haggle for a lower price.
My dad’s incredibly financially savvy as well — almost to a fault. He once dragged me along with him as he spent an entire week negotiating with a salesman for a lower price on a car. Here’s the kicker: As he was literally about to sign the papers for the car, he stopped, asked the salesman to throw in free floor mats, and walked away when they refused.
That’s an entire week’s worth of bargaining them down to an incredibly fair price, only to walk away when they didn’t throw in some floor mats he could have bought for less than 50 bucks at Walmart. I was wide-eyed and shell-shocked like I just went through three tours of duty in ‘Nam as we walked away from the dealership.
What’s the best thing YOU learned from your parents?
A while back, one of my students asked this amazing question — and I loved it so much that I wanted to throw it out to the entire IWT community.
She asked members of one of the IWT Facebook Groups what we’d learned from our parents and what we’re grateful for. My response is below.
Mulk Raj Anand has introduced us to a family that belonged to the villages of ancient India. It was of a time when the relationship between parents and children was nor always informal, and the relationship was outlined with a great amount of respect and strictness. The father's word was always the law. The parents shown here, display the typical character of a tyrannical father and a mother who acts as the buffer between her husband and child. The little boy, who was seen to be extremely afraid of his father, did not have the courage to ask him for toys or sweets because he feared facing his anger. While the mother is seen to handle a sad child very tactfully by diverting his attention to the bounties of nature. The two of them constantly worry about the safety of the child, and keep telling him to keep abreast with them.
