Walking to the shops today, my 6yo and I were talking about game consoles, which led to talking about money. I explained that, even though we technically *could* buy a new console right now, it was better to wait for a special occasion, and also important to try and have money saved in case we needed it unexpectedly, like a trip to the doctor or taking the cat to the vet.
To which he instantly added, “Or if we knew someone else who had an emergency, we’d need to have money to help them.”
And I just. I honestly choked up for a moment, because so many adults are so goddamn needlessly greedy and cruel right now, but a child who really wants the new Pokemon game still has the basic empathy to reason that, if you can put aside money to help yourself, you can put aside money for helping others, too.
