Don't be vain

(Baonghean) - Tet is coming, Mr. Chat!

- Yes, my conversation with Nhieu today can be considered the last of the year of the monkey!

- The last session of the winter ending and spring coming, what do you want to discuss?

- Savings!

- Reason?

- Haven't you heard the saying "trading ships and rafts is not as good as saving and frugality"?

- Many people know that. The question is why did you choose the topic of saving at this time?

- This is the right time. Because everyone is busy preparing for Tet!

- So what?

- People with good economic conditions do not need to say anything, but those in difficult circumstances also "dig the soil, turn the grass" to try to prepare for Tet like everyone else.

- What's so bad about that?

- Not bad but not good either!

- What do you mean...?

- We are very wasteful when celebrating Tet. Many people who normally hustle, scrimp, and live a miserable life, but when Tet comes, they spend a lot of money on shopping and spending. Especially...

- Who is it?

- People who come back from working far away. Some are just workers in industrial zones or hired laborers in provinces and cities, but when they return to their village, they lavishly shop as if they got a lot of money from somewhere! In fact...

- Is it saving up all year to spend all at once during Tet to show off to relatives and neighbors. After Tet, you pack up and board the train to the North or South?

- That's right! Everyone clicks their tongues at the phrase "It's Tet!...". So we spend money on useless, frivolous things as if we don't care about tomorrow.

Illustration

- Mr. Chat is right. It seems that many of our people still cannot escape the habit of false pride. They do not want to live truthfully, live according to their circumstances, but keep trying to stand on tiptoe to live like others. They should know how to be frugal and save money to have capital to develop the economy to be prosperous. Only then...

- Therefore, some people say that fake lifestyle and false pride originate from a low cultural background.

- High or low, it doesn't matter, just know that whatever you do, you have to calculate to suit your economic conditions and circumstances. Don't spend too much money or you will become poor again. In life, it's best to live true to yourself, don't be vain!
