What should you do if you meet a particularly stingy mother-in-law?

The behavior of being unwilling to spend money is called frugality in a positive sense and stingy in a negative sense. How should we describe it? We need to understand the situation clearly and don’t define it prematurely. There are many reasons why the elderly are unwilling to spend money. Here are some of the ones I can think of to see if they fit your situation.

First, the family conditions are not good and I am reluctant to spend money.

People who have come from hard times cherish everything, especially the money earned through hard work. They cherish it even more and always want to save it and use it for big things, such as Children get married, buy houses, and help their grandchildren save money for college. This is restricted by their time and education level.

If this is the case, you should not blame the elderly for being stingy, but rather be grateful to them. Furthermore, if the elderly's money is their own income, they have the right to control it. They have the final say on how to spend it. Others should not comment on it. This is everyone's freedom.

Second, my family is in good condition, but I just don’t want to spend it and prefer to save money.

Saving money is a preference of Chinese people. People with traditional concepts are still very willing to save money because it gives them a sense of psychological security. Or they will have a strong sense of crisis when their career income comes to an end, and they will only have a little money left in their hands. This money will be used for retirement. It must be said that there are so many "white-eyed wolves" nowadays, and hard work is hard. The children you raise may not come back to raise the elderly. The elderly can only be secure if they have some money in their own hands. In such a situation, the elderly should also be considered.

Third, my family is in good condition, but I don’t want to give you flowers.

If the family conditions are good and the old man continues to have income, but he just doesn’t like to spend money, this is a matter of habit. But if he just doesn’t like spending money for you, then it may be your problem. Now, should we look for the reason within ourselves?

No matter what you say, you should not say anything bad about the elderly. Everyone has their own behavior and habits. The elderly must have their own reasons for not wanting to spend money. As the main force in society and the family, when we encounter When it comes to spending money, shouldn’t we take care of it first?
