She's trying to teach our kids just because you have the money doesn't mean you should keep it for yourself.
So like at Christmas, birthdays, she teaches the concept of giving presents to other people.
Like for Christmas, you don't need all these presents.
How many people don't have toys and couldn't celebrate?
So my wife will take them to volunteer, wrap presents, give them to kids.
And we're trying to teach them the concept of just because you have the money doesn't mean you should have everything you want.
And people who don't have everything or even the basic necessities shouldn't have it.
for reasons that they can't control.
So if you look at the United States, a lot of the families that struggle are single parent families.
And they struggle in many aspects, not just money, but education.
When they grow up, there's a lot of things that have put them at a disadvantage because they don't have some of the aspects that you get from dual earning income households, right?
So my wife looks at that and she loves helping out single mothers.
because she sees their pain, and it's hard.

They're not affordable.
Right?

You can buy the item you really want, but do you really need it?
What is it going to do your life?
And after you get it, what's next?
