the world we live in 2
continued...


A lot of years later, the young child is more older, more wiser and now thinks twice before wanting to acquire anything. Now, decision making is involved. The young child ( now an adolescent) sees an object of interest but thinks twice, holds back and tries to convince him/herself why he/she should go for it (why not buy something else or something better).
"If I don't buy this Gala, I can save up and buy myself a nice pair of shoe", "Do I really have to buy this buiscuit".

He ponders, all but because he now knows the worth of Money, he doesn't work for it but now he understands a bit. He sees the reluctancy of Mommy and Daddy when he asks for the money, now he knows why Daddy isn't always home to play with him. The young child knows better and now, when visitors give money, he wouldn't want Mommy to keep for him (like old times).

All grown up, now a Man/Woman, the young child now fully understands. As he/she is a member of the working class and works for every amount he earns. Now there are responsibilities, he has to save, he can't just up and go for whatever he wants like before. There are things called Budget, Needs, Wants, Scale of preference in his dictionary. He knows better why Daddy was always so worked up about money issues, he understands why Mommy always wanted to keep money for him and the numerous fights that resulted in.

"Daddy can you please tell Mommy to give me my money, I don't want her keeping it for me anymore" his little girl said as she walked in and he couldn't help but to smile to himself😅...
