    Without telling it, grandma Dina makes one thing clear: In a family, the person who is at home, has a full time job managing the family, raising the kids, providing healthy meals, ensuring everybody has clean clothes in good condition and keeping the money together. We as societies in the west should honor and respect those people more.

      @@nanskiboutski243That’s not at all what was said. What was said was that it’s a full time job. I would gather to say that the overwhelming majority of women who run their home and raise their kids full time would NOT allow a lazy husband to not contribute in some way to the house that he also lives in. “What’s the point of having the male around” just shows me that you don’t have a committed life partner who also contributes, and who shows/tells you every day how wonderful and valuable and amazing you are. Men are in our lives for so many reasons, but to name a few: physical protection and comfort in our deepest darkest moments; a shared love of life and living/building that life together; making us laugh and ensuring we don’t take life too seriously (it’s why they call men “big kids” all the time); and to reminds us-women, who are the hardest on ourselves than anyone else can be on us-that we are awesome, strong, and beautiful, inside and out.

I started learning that in my 30's from people who are not from my culture. Why? because my culture doesn't know how to save. Half of the advice I follow is Jewish finance.

      Well my family are not Jewish either but I was raised the same way. Dishes were washed in a container and then the soapy water and rinse water were put in the garden and on the flower beds. Everything was recycled. We had paper drives glass drives and the money earned went to different projects in town. We had community gardens. We even planted one because it was available. We also had a yard so we had a good sized one. Any extras were given away. Resale shopping, real estate and gardening has also been passed down to my children. Materialism in my generation is rampant and I don't know why. You know keeping up with the Joneses. Look at all the crap in their houses and in their yards. It's all made in China and they are struggling to make ends meet.

      They’re strong educational background, close knit families have made them the most superior of whites.

    “Too many toys… bad for the mind”🏆 4:27 I’m in my 30s and can completely relate. Having too many toys (even adult ones like motorcycles, DJ gear, etc) just makes you appreciate each item less, invest less time advancing specific skills, and seeing the items gather dust brings you down emotionally. Don’t let your possessions own you!

      Yes, very pratical and useful advices. HOWEVER, if everyone would follow it, half the clothes shops would close (people would only buy second hand) and all those people would go to unemployment, then also second hand clothes wouldn't be available because people would not buy new clothes. Then clothes factories would close... and so on. Basically we would regress to the beginning of the 20th century. Similar effect on borrowing toys. Unfortunately economy is not so simple.

      Let the rich people and financially dumb people and wasteful people keep buying all the new clothes. Nobody is saying “Everyone, don’t buy new clothes.” Some people have to buy new because they can’t find anything that fits or that they like at 2nd hand shops. People who are frugal and smart about saving money and who listen to good advice shop thrift stores and consignment shops. That’s only a small percentage of the population, so no worries.

      I'll tell you one thing I learned... don't use the dishwasher.
      My water bill tripled the month I decided to use my dishwasher instead of doing everything by hand. I immediately called my leasing office & the young lady said, "I thought there was something wrong. Do you mind my sending a maintenance person to your apartment to check for leaks?" I agreed. He didn't find any leaks but he knew how much water is used by the dishwasher. So we figured out that was the cause of my drastic increase.
      I also turn off or unplug all electrical stuff, including the lights. Many years ago I saw a documentary that said that even though your electronics are turned off or are not in use, they still pull electricity.

    I am a Muslim and totally agree with grandma. This was grand wisdom. I think all our grand moms were full of wisdom. Home cooked meals, not over buying and not spoiling children with tons of toys. She is so right, if you want to develop your child’s focus, give him a few things to play with. I only introduced my child to a Tarzan book which we would read every night for months. We then went and watched the movie and he was thrilled because he knew all the characters, clothes are another complete waste of money. Hand me downs were the best thing. Those who fall into the advertising trap become literally hypnotized. They don’t understand that all they want is for you to think that what you already have is outdated, old and not good enough. This is the oldest way to lure. And then pay these influencers tons of money to promote their ridiculous products. We call all live so well with what we already have. Please listen to her

    Grandma’s recommendation to check your receipts is spot on. The food stores almost always have a mistake in their computer system, never in your favor. Some stores have a policy that if an item is wrung up incorrectly and you go to Customer Service to fix it, you get that item for free. I have saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years. Just checking my receipts.

      @@lessehead You don't check the receipt on the spot. You move away & check it. Then if there's a problem, you take it to the service counter.

    I am not Jewish but I am loving this!! I agree with her about toys...to add to her thoughts on the subject...kids who get too many toys don't appreciate them. Same thing when parents buy their kids new cars without making them pay for at least half. They don't take care of the car, and if they wreck it... parents buy a replacement. Kids don't understand the value or responsibility.❤

    • @cockeyedoptimista
      @cockeyedoptimista Год назад

      Sooo true. I'm glad your said that about toys. Her statement about wooden blocks made cry: that was such a beautiful thing, to just use one's imagination and to physically interact with the blocks. Anyhow, you're totally right about kids not appreciating toys if they have too many, and especially right about the car thing! Yes pay for half! As a kid who was spoiled myself, I can attest: I did not appreciate what it took to Buy this car, I did Not take good care of it - didn't even know How, really - and when it overheated and blew the head gasket, who paid to have it fixed? My poor, dear Dad who worked so hard in his life and deserved a much better daughter. So you see, if you don't manage to teach your children about responsibility and consequences, you just make yourself And them less happy. (It wasn't my dad who didn't discipline us. It was like living between two opposites.)
      Anyhow, what Gramma D. said: "And they were better off for it!" For the less-distracting number of toys. Etc.
      And borrowing? We used to borrow books from each other. I think people still do that.. Or kitchen tools, or ... You have to know your neighbors though. There's less of that now..

    Love this episode! I am Chinese, but my mom and this sweet grandma. My mom used to make her own and the kids' clothes. When friends sees them, they would ask where my mom bought it from, my mom would proudly tell them she made it, and friends would end up buying from her.
    We didn't take showers till I was a teenager. We only had a bucket of water and that's the only amount we can use to save money. Any extra money we had, mom would put it into a savings account, in different currencies to hedge against risk.
    We then put money into real estate, but more focused as my dad ran a factory and his theory was "things need to be made, so factory space is important part of society".
    As my parents were building their wealth, my dad became a huge watch enthusiast, but he always buys used and always find a diamond in the rough.
    And this grandma is right, finding a good bargain is fun! I remember I found a thin jacket for USD 6. I was wearing it one day and my dad saw it and asked me how much it was, I told him $6, and it turned into conversation of the day.
    I now teach my kids to buy used toys and share amongst themselves. She's right, we don't borrow anymore. When I was a kid, my friend and I would exchange toys and Nintendo games for a week.my sister would borrow friend's clothes. I got a bunch of hand me downs. We are blessed that we got a lot of hand me downs for my kids.

It took me about a year to get bored with it. All my friends' Moms told them the same thing, so one year for Hanukkah, I told them that each one of us should ask for a different board game. We picked our 3 favorites, went around in a circle, & decided who would ask for what. Instead of having multiples of the same board game, we wound up with 5 different board games. My Mom, when she heard about this, said, "Do I even have to ask whose idea this was?" I just smiled & said, "Mine."

      Planning, anticipation, tactics; the board games taught you well!

      There's more than one way to skin a cat.
      For my 16th birthday, I didn't want a 'blowout' party like my Sisters. I wanted contact lenses. My Parents agreed. Well, a few months before my birthday, I had the opportunity to go to Spain through my HS. I asked my Parents for that instead. Luckily, Mom could financially manage for both her & me to go on the trip. We had a blast. And don't you know, Dad decided to get me my contact lenses anyway because I was getting good grades in school, working p/t, & paying them 'house money', & paying for my car insurance, gasoline, & incidentals.
      My big Sister always called me "A spoiled little brat that had our Parents wrapped around my pinky." I would reply, "Don't you have to be rich to be spoiled; we're dead broke." I should add, my big Sister never gave money to the house, & every paycheck she would spend her money on clothes, shoes, & blow. LOL.

    As a Christian, we understand the great wisdom of the Jewish community. I listen to Dennis Prager and other Rabies all the time. God bless the Jewish people, and keep them in his care forever.

      No because nobody is listening to old people anymore. The disrespect old people face in modern western society is terrible.

    She’s so right about this stuff!! And regarding the wedding dress, if there’s a stain that can’t be removed you can cover it up in a multitude of ways ( embroidery, beadwork, silk flowers, etc) Even if you spend another $50 to have it done, you’ve saved yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

    My Italian grandma was exactly the same, love this. She's so right. The kids in my neighborhood were playing with a broom that a contractor left behind after laying a driveway. Who needs toys 😂😂

      I am Jewish, grew up in Donetsk Ukraine in Soviet times. We played with sticks for swords and wooden boards for shields. We ran, wrestled, jumped. So much fun.
