Second, the family environment forced. The tree wants to keep quiet, but the wind will not stop; My son wants to serve his parents when they are old, but they are gone. Although the elderly in many families have children, they are often too busy with work to take care of them, and there is nothing extra for them, let alone waste it. There are many poor people. Some families are poor. There are several brothers and sisters at home. Once you get married and start a family, separate your parents. None of them wants to give more money to the elderly. The two old people don't want to disturb them or hear too many quarrels. They want to retire and have a funeral in the future, so they thrive and save their money as money and coffin books. In fact, even in very wealthy families, the elderly will keep a coffin book for themselves.
Third, it is caused by ideas. They have formed the habit of making promises and the concept of saving since childhood, so they must be careful about the use of every sum of money. However, at this time, if you make them spend a lot of money, they will definitely say, "I can't eat that much, I don't need that, these are unnecessary, I still have those." In short, in their eyes, when you give them money, you just think that you are wasting, being extravagant and not saving.
Fourth, the level of education is different. At that time, resources and materials were quite scarce, and frugality was always advocated and demanded. They must be extravagant and wasteful, and over time, they will get used to it. Now even if they have money, they don't want to spend money. Some people don't know how to spend it even if they want to. After all, children provide food, clothing, housing and transportation. As an old man, he can't eat much. Some people with higher education know how to eat, drink and travel from time to time, but this is also based on the premise of money. Generally, you can travel and play. If they don't have their own pension or children have sponsorship, those who don't have money and children don't take them to play must take them indoors. Another is that women don't have much money, and parents want to save it, which can reduce their burden.
