I know that my parents are very thrifty for my sake, but it just feels suffocating.

Hello, July!

After reading your description, I understand your question better. I want to give you a hug.

You know your parents have good intentions, but you don't approve of them because you and your parents have different views. This is normal because you live in different times.

Most parents in this age group suffered a lot when they were young. As children, we can't really empathize with this. So, when they grow up, they try to avoid it happening again.

It also involves educating you and influencing you subtly. But you are resisting because shopping is more fun than thinking about buying things.

I have also summarized ways to help you. I hope it helps.

It's normal to have different views from your parents. We can't change the problems caused by differences in times, but we can change our attitude.

(2) It's hard to change your parents' minds quickly because you can't change anyone else. You can only change yourself.

Also, trying to change your parents' minds can cause problems.

(3) Distract yourself. Don't dwell on the situation. Focus on something more meaningful.

(4) Parents and you have different ideas, but also have common ground. You will also buy some things that are more expensive and of better quality at times. Just accept what you can approve of, and allow what you can't to exist.

(5) You can relieve your depression with exercise, chatting, music, and keeping a diary.

I love you!

Best wishes!

Reading your description took me back to our childhood. When we were young, we lived in a planned economy. It was a fascinating time! Only strict planning and frugality could lead to a relatively comfortable life. Our parents were born and grew up in that era, and they formed the economic concepts of that era. There is no doubt about it! They just wanted to live a less stressful life and to live a life that was limited to satisfying material needs.

Today, we are blessed with an abundance of material things and financial resources. Life is full of new and exciting material things, which is a wonderful characteristic of our times. We no longer just focus on satisfying material needs; we also constantly enrich our spiritual needs. Buying some good things reflects our dual needs for material things and spirituality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing a good quality of life!

Guess what! We may actually feel depressed because we feel guilty towards our parents. While we are enjoying a high-quality life, our parents are still looking for the cheapest supplies. From the perspective of traditional filial piety in our country, we may feel vaguely that we are being unfilial. Therefore, we are conflicted about our choices, guilty towards our parents, ashamed of our moral standards, and so on. All these conflicting emotions make us feel depressed and at a loss. But there is a way out of this!

I want to say that we and our parents live in different times, and that's a great thing! We respect the values of our respective times, respect our parents' choices, and make our own choices. Of course, we don't want to see our parents living in a cheap world. Sometimes a little white lie may help our parents enjoy a "cheap" but high-quality life and help us balance our inner conflicts. Of course, we don't want to keep our parents and us living in a "lie." As time goes by, the good things will eventually shine in people's hearts. Only through comparison can our parents slowly realize the difference and gradually change their minds. Of course, changing is not our goal; balancing our mutual inner feelings is the priority.

I wish you the very best as you work towards achieving inner balance and enjoying a rich, full life!

Good day, host. I am gratified to have the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. After reviewing the information you provided, it is evident that your parents adhere to a minimalistic approach to consumerism, prioritizing cost-effectiveness in their purchasing decisions. If they identify a more economical option online than in a brick-and-mortar establishment, they will often opt for the online purchase, even for seemingly mundane items like instant noodles.

Furthermore, they encourage individuals to adopt these same standards. They strongly disapprove of their parents' consumption habits and shopping views.

In other words, all human behavior is ultimately controlled by the subconscious. When their parents were young, there was a severe shortage of goods, so they were willing to use the cheapest means to obtain more goods to maintain the most basic survival needs of their lives. After living in this state of affairs for a long time, they inevitably developed a thrifty lifestyle.

In the contemporary era, material supply is relatively sufficient, and the need to purchase more goods at the lowest cost is a fundamental aspect of human survival. When engaging in shopping activities, it is essential to consider not only the price-performance ratio but also a multitude of additional factors, including the quality of the goods, the shopping environment, and the service attitude of the personnel providing the service. In addition to the material needs of goods, shopping also necessitates a spiritual experience. The primary objective of shopping has evolved from the mere acquisition of goods to the pursuit of happiness that shopping offers.

A focus on psychologist Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which divides human needs into five levels—namely, survival needs, safety needs, communication needs, and needs for love and respect—reveals that the needs that parents seek to fulfill at that stage are survival needs, whereas the needs that individuals seek to fulfill when shopping in this era are more about love and respect.

It is evident that there are notable differences in the underlying motivations and objectives associated with the selection of shopping methods and goods.

Indeed, there is no inherent right or wrong in these two shopping habits. They represent optimal choices for adapting to the external environment. Family members do not have fundamental conflicts of interest, and a binary approach will only negatively impact their relationships.

It is possible to disregard non-principled differences and move on. I am pleased to have you as my reader in 1983. I extend my affection to the world and to you!

Hello.

Parents go to the supermarket to compare prices. If prices are not lower than online, they choose not to buy anything. Isn't that their original goal?

I understand your frustration. The original intention is just to make things easier for parents. Even eating instant noodles takes time, and you have to wait for them to be mailed from far away.

I want to talk about respect.

You're not a fish, so you don't know what it's like.

Parents are used to this spending pattern and like comparing prices and buying cheap goods.

It's like tasting ice cream you like and buying it again and again.

They like this kind of spending because it gives them pleasure. This feeling of happiness will naturally make parents do it again and again.

It's like always buying your favorite ice cream.

When you meet your best friend, you'll naturally recommend the ice cream you're eating.

Your parents want you to try their ice cream. They might even make you take a few bites.

You don't like your parents' ice cream. It's not your thing.

Some people like scallion dip, while others don't.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to preferences.

What do you do when your best friend doesn't like your ice cream?

It's about respecting others.

"If you don't like it, that's fine. I like it."

Think about how you can respect your parents' different spending habits.

You are a good child who cares about your parents. You hope they will spend more money when they have it.

Work hard to earn more money so you can buy them better things. Show your love by buying them high-quality items. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury. Everyone knows the difference between a good thing and a poor-quality product.

Attitudes take time to change.

Until you can change the situation, accept, allow, and get used to your parents' behavior. This will make you and your relationship with them more relaxed and comfortable.

After reviewing the questioner's description, I would like to discuss two points.

One aspect of the background that the questioner did not mention is whether the parents' frugal spending habits have always been the case or whether they changed after having children.

From the information provided, it appears that this has been a long-standing pattern, likely developed during their childhood. It is notable that both parents adhere to a similar spending philosophy, which has likely contributed to the lack of conflict over financial matters since their marriage.

The premise of the question, "My parents are thrifty because of me," is therefore unsuitable. My parents are thrifty as a result of the values and habits they have cultivated since childhood. This is how they conducted themselves prior to getting married and having children.

It is not the acquisition of children and subsequent savings for their benefit that has led to a more thrifty outlook. Rather, it is the pleasure derived from shopping around and purchasing items online at a lower price point, which provides a greater sense of satisfaction than the item itself may offer.

Furthermore, there is no obligation to make purchases when visiting the supermarket. Even the act of going there can provide a significant degree of relaxation and happiness.

The questioner has created a significant amount of psychological pressure for herself and assumed responsibilities that are not within her scope of responsibility.

The questioner stated that he used the funds he earned from part-time employment to assist his family in replacing the door lock. His father, however, criticized him in front of others. In my view, the negative impact of this incident on the questioner's self-esteem was more significant than the criticism he received for spending money unwisely.

The questioner is 25 years old, and most individuals of that age would typically be employed and generating income, demonstrating financial independence, and contributing to the financial support of their parents. However, the questioner is currently engaged in studies that do not allow for part-time employment to supplement their income.

It is human nature to compare oneself with others. Even if the family supports the dream, the questioner will still compare themselves with their peers. This kind of comparison, especially the financial gap, will have a negative impact on the questioner in the short term.

If the questioner is particularly sensitive about the matter of "spending money," it may be more straightforward to impose their parents' thrifty habits on them, and they may be unable to let their parents spend "as they please."

The aforementioned considerations are intended to provide insight, and if they do not align with the circumstances of the original poster, they can be regarded as prompts for further reflection.

If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion, I would like to say that having a dream and the determination and ability to achieve it is a very remarkable thing. It is also a very remarkable thing that your parents can financially support you to study for another two years.

Given your decision, it would be prudent to adopt a longer-term perspective. Should you pursue a medical degree, secure gainful employment, enhance your financial standing, and provide a more comfortable lifestyle for your parents, it would be mutually beneficial to respect their values and allow them to live according to their preferences.

With a positive outlook on the future, focus on excellence in the present.

Dear Question Asker, Your description offers insight into your and your family's consumption concepts and feelings. However, it lacks clarity regarding your personal aspirations.

I have attempted to identify the specific aspect of your emotional response that you wish to address, but it may not align with your intentions. To gain a more comprehensive understanding, it is essential to provide further clarification.

1. On the concept of "identification"

It is frequently the case that an individual's values are formed through identification, particularly with regard to their parents and the wider family unit. This process is often subtle and imperceptible. The questioner observed that their parents exhibited a relatively thrifty disposition, and that this has now been internalised and manifested in the individual's own approach to consumerism.

From the perspective of biological evolution and development, it is beneficial to maintain consistency with one's family, thereby increasing the survival chances of the group and the individual. As we continue to grow, the things we identify with become richer and richer, which slowly forms one's identity. When one's identity is very certain, one will actually know who one is very easily.

In comparison to individuals with ambiguous identities, your physical and mental health is superior.

The questioner also recognizes the merits of their parents' spending habits, namely, that they can facilitate future wealth accumulation, ensure survival, and promote the development of the questioner and their family. This is a key observation.

However, another aspect of this situation requires further examination. Were the spending habits of your parents truly solely for your future benefit? It is possible that their formation of such habits was influenced by their original family environment and social environment in which they grew up. In the era in which they grew up, they may have been from a family with many children and from a poor family background. If they were not frugal, they might not have been able to ensure their own or their children's access to food in the future.

The era and environment in which they were raised were characterized by economic challenges, and their parents exercised caution in allowing them to spend money without consideration. This form of restraint has been transmitted subtly across generations, and it has become a deeply ingrained aspect of your own financial habits. It is understandable that their parents exercised caution in allowing them to spend money without consideration given the economic context of their upbringing. However, it is curious that you, having grown up in a less economically constrained environment, have also adopted a similarly cautious approach to spending.

The question remains whether this is truly the case.

2. Justifications for the "Not Allowing" Process

You were socialized in a context of greater affluence, yet the habit of self-denial has been internalized, influencing your consumption and your capacity to treat yourself better without your awareness. You may then ask whether, given the adverse effects of this self-denial on your well-being, it is possible to overcome it. However, despite your desire to do so, you find it challenging to break this pattern. There are likely a number of internal motivations that contribute to your continued adherence to this inherited mindset.

Firstly, the act of allowing oneself to spend freely represents a betrayal of the familial structure and the authority of one's parents. From a psychological perspective, the process of maturation entails a constant act of betrayal towards one's parents.

It is, however, a challenging endeavour. It is, therefore, pertinent to question how one might betray the parents they love.

If one does not betray one's parents, one must sacrifice one's own needs and no longer allow oneself—that is, one must betray oneself.

This may appear to be a paradox: the act of betraying one's family versus betraying oneself.

Secondly, it is possible that allowing oneself to spend freely may result in punishment from one's parents, which may manifest as suppression, criticism, scolding, or even cursing. This is because parents often pass on their fear of poverty to their children through such disciplinary actions.

Once again, the issue is the anxiety of separation from one's parents. When one allows oneself to spend more generously, it is akin to psychological distancing from one's parents, which can be anxiety-provoking and frightening.

Consequently, it requires a significant amount of energy to overcome the aforementioned challenges and develop the capacity to spend in a manner that differs from that of one's parents.

3. The "I'm not worthy" complex

The subconscious meaning of long-term frugal consumption is that one is deserving only of the lowest-priced things and is not worthy of having nice things. This view of consumption affects not only consumption habits but also the development of self-esteem. Over time, one will experience feelings of inadequacy, a sense of being unable to afford nicer things, and a low sense of self-worth.

I posit that another reason for your sense of being suffocated is the repeated experience of feeling inadequate and low in value. In order to regain a sense of self-worth, you sought the answer to this question.

The aforementioned opinions represent merely a fraction of the insights I have gleaned. Undertaking changes of this nature requires a considerable degree of fortitude and mental resilience. One potential avenue for support is counseling, which can facilitate the gradual process of breaking through and becoming a happier, more carefree individual.

Due to the word limit, I'll add more later.

My father criticized me for spending 900 yuan on a door lock. He called the company that replaced the lock and said, "My child doesn't know anything, and you tricked her." I felt angry and embarrassed. I was 25 years old.

My father seemed anxious and angry. Was it worth 900 yuan? I punished myself for over a week and took a job I hated for over a month. I was paid less than 500 yuan by Pua. I still couldn't make up the 900 yuan.

I know that not having a job is the root of my suffering. I'm 25 and want to fulfill my original dream of studying medicine for two years. I feel that the heavy workload will leave me no time to work part-time.

Hello, question asker! My name is Zi Ding Ya Xiang, and it's so great to connect with you. I'm sending you a big virtual hug from afar.

The original poster mentioned that because their parents were thrifty and loved to buy cheap things, they have also become thrifty and love to buy cheap things. This has led to a bit of a dilemma, as they're now following in their parents' footsteps and experiencing distress as a result.

As parents, we have the wonderful opportunity to pass on the fine tradition of thrift and frugality to our children. The older generation came through hard times and treasures the current affluent life, but this glorious tradition of frugality has also been passed down. This is a great habit to start!

Be thrifty, compare prices, and bargain! They've been doing this for so many years, and without the thrift of the older generation, there might not be this prosperous era we're living in. As the questioner also knows, their frugality is also to provide better conditions for our growth.

The original poster has realized something really important: as long as their parents feel at ease and comfortable, that's all that matters.

As the younger generation, we don't need to make any comments on the behavior of our parents. They have their own way of life, and that's okay! Perhaps the questioner is bothered by the fact that he has also inherited this tradition and may feel ashamed and looked down upon. In fact, there is no need to think this way. We live our own lives, and that's what matters! Just like whether or not a pair of shoes fits, only we ourselves know, so why care what others think?

The original poster mentioned that going to the supermarket found that the online items were cheaper than the supermarket, and the original purpose of going to the supermarket was not achieved. The good news is that there's a simple solution! It's all about making the choice that's right for you. If you need it urgently, if you like it, and don't want to wait, then go ahead and buy it! Don't let yourself fall into this kind of distress.

If you can wait and don't need it right away, why not use the time as a shopping trip? And if you occasionally buy something you think is expensive, you can also tell them it's cheap as a kind of white lie.

In short, there's no right or wrong in this kind of price comparison and bargaining. Just follow your heart! Live in peace with your parents.

OK, hello, and thank you for your question. I'm Wang Yufei, a listener at One Psychological.

First, I want to think about one thing. I'm sure your parents were thrifty with you so that you could save more money for your future.

Later on, when you start a family, educate your children, buy a house or a car, it's all thanks to your parents' hard-earned savings. That's the love and care of your parents.

On the other hand, because life was really tough back then, they would save every penny. Maybe it was also because they weren't great at making money, so their philosophy was to save a little bit to make a little bit more.

We know our parents care about us and that they save money for us, but we still feel unhappy. Why? Because this feeling of poverty makes us feel bad, and at the same time, we care about other people's opinions and perceptions, which creates a contrast and comparison and affects our mood and state of mind.

This is why we feel so bad sometimes, even depressed and angry.

The parents' generation lived through some pretty tough times, which made them really careful with money. We need to understand that our parents are from an older generation and that we can't change them or persuade them. So we should save money ourselves while being simple and frugal, and work hard to improve our ability to earn money, in order to lead a more prosperous life.

Have we heard this story before? Many people have gone on to have better financial conditions, but their parents' generation still had a hard time. The parents wouldn't eat the fish bought by the family, so the kids would lie to them and say that the fish had been sitting there for a few days and would go bad if they didn't eat it.

As kids, we really need to be more patient and caring towards our parents. Our impatience comes from the bad experiences our parents have brought us. At the same time, can we work on ourselves so that we can be more understanding and tolerant of our parents, and show them more love and care?

There's a saying I always keep in mind: If we show concern and care for our parents now, we won't regret it later.

I truly believe that through our collective efforts, we can live better and better lives. While our parents will remain unchanged after life gets better, that is precisely what makes them so endearing. It is the habits that their lives have brought them.

I love you, world, and I love you too, me.

Good day, My name is Warm-hearted Girl 1219, and I am pleased to answer your question on Yi Xinli.

From your description, I can ascertain that your parents are extremely thrifty and hardworking, which is a highly commendable quality.

You are influenced by your parents and also purchase the most economical items, occasionally purchasing more expensive items, which your parents do not allow. This situation causes you discomfort.

I would like to make the following suggestions:

1. Respect your parents' views on spending.

The differing views on spending between you and your parents stem from the generational differences between you. It is essential to comprehend your parents' prudent approach to shopping.

People of my parents' generation have experienced significant challenges and understand the value of financial prudence. They prioritize saving where possible, which helps to reduce unnecessary expenses.

It is advisable to spend money wisely and avoid unnecessary purchases.

For example,

A young woman was born into a rural family, successfully completed the college entrance exam, and proceeded to university. During this period, she also formed a romantic relationship.

The boyfriend is also from a rural area. The couple graduated from university, got married, and had a son.

Given the inability of both sets of parents to provide assistance, the two individuals worked assiduously to launch a business and assume responsibility for repaying the mortgage and car loan independently.

Therefore, they typically adopt a highly frugal approach to saving, with the objective of accumulating sufficient funds to repay their loans.

In this situation, it would be prudent to set aside a modest amount of money for savings.

2. Attempt to reach an agreement on your spending habits.

Your perspective on spending is also valid. To facilitate mutual understanding, it is essential to communicate regularly with your parents, exchange views, collaborate on a solution to your differing spending approaches, and strive to reach an agreement.

It would be advisable to inform your parents that they should not be excessively frugal and that spending money where it is needed is acceptable.

For illustrative purposes, consider the following example:

Another family from a rural area.

The family has a daughter who aspires to pursue a university education. The parents recognize that a college degree is a key factor in securing a well-paying and fulfilling career.

The couple proceeded to pursue gainful employment and made every effort to ensure their daughter received an education.

My daughter is also very hardworking. After four years of university study, she has acquired a great deal of professional knowledge and skills. After graduation, she successfully found a well-paid job in a large company in Shanghai, which has brought a great deal of income to the family and gradually improved the family's living conditions.

It is a valuable and rewarding investment.

Ultimately, the decision to save or spend money should be based on one's financial situation. I firmly believe that through dedication and effort, life will undoubtedly improve.

I hope you have found this information useful.

I wish you and your family the best of success.

Hello, host!

Thrift is a virtue of the Chinese nation, and it's a wonderful thing! Older people are especially thrifty, like my parents' generation.

They're always on the lookout for the best deals and buy the cheapest items after comparison. They only buy the necessities and hardly ever buy any extras. I totally get your parents!

Our concept of consumption is definitely different from that of our parents. And that's a good thing! We live in a materialistic society, so we often satisfy our desires by buying things.

Sometimes you want to replace things in the house that don't look good anymore. Parents don't think like we do, which is great because it means they're generous with the money you need for your studies! They look at the food and think that things are still usable even if they're not broken, so there's no need to replace them.

They don't care if you look good or not! It's totally normal that your father won't let you replace the old door.

Because thrift is deeply ingrained in his thinking. You don't want to conflict with your father, so try to accept your parents' spending habits.

And when the day comes when you can impress them with your abilities, they'll be so proud of you, they won't be able to stop you from getting what you want!

I feel that your parents are harsh on themselves, but they are generous with the money you need for your studies! Try to understand your parents and be yourself.

Use your academic success to face everything with equanimity!

Come on! Let's do this!

Good day, question asker. My name is Evan.

From the questioner's description, it can be seen that the questioner feels that his parents are excessively thrifty, and that this has influenced him to the extent that he is inclined to purchase the least expensive items for all of his purchases. However, it is notable that the parents are proposing these thrifty behaviors for the questioner, which is a surprising assertion. It would appear that this represents the parents' own view of thrift, rather than a suggestion.

At what point should the factors that influence these behaviors be attributed to the subject? Who or what instilled these thrifty ideas in them?

One might inquire as to whether these values were instilled by the parents, and how the questioner came to assume responsibility for them.

This dynamic may be perceived as unfair to the questioner, as the responsibility for navigating a challenging decision is placed on the questioner, who may feel they have limited options and that the decision is ultimately beneficial to them. It is understandable that the questioner may experience feelings of oppression in this context.

The parents' behavior towards the questioner has resulted in the questioner bearing a significant psychological burden, leading them to perceive the most economical option as the only viable one. This is because the entire family adheres to a frugal lifestyle, and the questioner feels compelled to emulate this behavior. While this may appear to be a normal practice to the parents, it can often have detrimental effects on the questioner's mental health and well-being.

In this context, I will offer the original poster (OP) a gesture of encouragement, with the aim of providing them with some degree of psychological support. It is not uncommon for certain practices within the original family context to result in feelings of pressure and depression. However, the decision to rely on frugality as a means of providing support to the OP is a choice made by the OP's parents, rather than a personal request. It is often the case that individuals have the autonomy to determine their own approach to self-care, and there is no inherent problem with adopting a self-compassionate stance.

In light of the fact that the question was posed on an online forum, it seems appropriate to offer the questioner some straightforward advice that is based on the question itself.

It is essential to comprehend the rationale behind the parents' actions towards the OP.

It would be beneficial to understand the rationale behind the parents' treatment of the OP. What circumstances have led to this approach? How do they treat their own children? Did their parents teach them this way of treating their children?

It would be beneficial to ascertain whether this phenomenon is commonplace in China or if the questioner is the sole individual to have experienced such treatment. The manner in which parents treat their children is often shaped by the teachings they received from their own families.

This model is imprinted in their hearts and will inform their approach to parenting. In their minds, this is how parents should treat their children.

It is crucial to comprehend the rationale behind one's parents' actions. This understanding can facilitate the release of emotions, promote a more composed demeanor, and enhance the capacity to interact with them in a more tranquil manner.

It is not uncommon for families to make decisions regarding their children's upbringing with the intention of providing them with the best possible outcomes. However, there is often a lack of consideration for the specific needs and typical requirements of the child in question. The parents of the original poster, for instance, have made the decision to prioritize financial savings for the child, which has resulted in the purchase of inexpensive items. This choice was initially made by the parents without consulting the child. As other families have observed, parents often believe they are making decisions that are in the child's best interest. However, the suitability of these decisions for the child and the child's ability to accept them are frequently overlooked from the child's perspective.

It can be concluded, therefore, that the current approach of the questioner's parents is more about what they believe is good for the questioner, rather than what the questioner actually requires. Furthermore, this idea of what is good for the questioner represents a form of moral coercion, as when parents are so frugal, it is inevitable that the questioner will also learn to purchase the cheapest items under the influence of their parents.

It is recommended that the questioner communicate with their parents.

It is recommended that the questioner attempt to communicate with their parents when they are in a positive emotional state and discuss their feelings and thoughts. Despite the questioner's strong attachment to their parents, they should also endeavor to express their own ideas and aspirations.

It would be beneficial for the questioner to attempt to communicate with their parents about their feelings regarding their behavior. It would also be advantageous for the questioner to ascertain their parents' opinions and motivations.

It is not uncommon for parents' views on their children to be informed by the ideas of previous generations or the patterns they have adopted from their own families. These patterns and ideas can also exert a direct influence on the child. To gain insight into the situation of their parents, children may benefit from understanding their parents' views.

It is evident that the subject in question is deserving of a more favorable situation.

The questioner's negative emotions are a direct result of his parents' behavior. He experiences feelings of envy and discomfort when he observes that other families do not make the same purchasing decisions as his own. It is not this author's place to determine the merits of such a decision. However, it is important to recognize that the questioner deserves a better quality of life.

The assumption that the cheapest option is the worst is a flawed one. The market often reflects the principle of "you get what you pay for." Furthermore, the notion that the cheapest option is the best is a fallacy.

It is imperative that the questioner acknowledges his inherent right to procure superior quality items and to enjoy a more elevated standard of living. When circumstances allow, it is prudent for the questioner to invest in products that may be more expensive but of superior quality.

Moreover, there are numerous instances wherein one can procure desirable items without incurring any expenditure. For instance, numerous credit cards and Alipay platforms offer point redemptions, with the redeemed items being of exceptional quality. Additionally, there are activities that facilitate the acquisition of desirable items, which are equally beneficial and do not necessitate monetary outlay.

It would be advisable to seek employment on a part-time basis or to identify alternative sources of income.

The happiness and well-being of a family, or the desire to be more prosperous in some ways, is insufficient to rely on frugality alone. In order to increase income, it is necessary to find a part-time job or some other means of generating money.

Indeed, there are numerous such methods available online. The simplest involve activities such as assisting with video editing and dubbing, taking photographs for others, or even working part-time at KFC. These are all effective means of generating income. When a family's living situation has improved and they have started a new business that generates a good income, does this mean that they are no longer constrained by the need to purchase inexpensive items?

It is recommended that you seek professional psychological support.

Should one find it challenging to accept one's parents' behavior and lack the requisite skills to communicate with them effectively, it may be beneficial to seek the guidance of a professional psychologist or therapist. These individuals possess the expertise and training to assist individuals in navigating complex interpersonal dynamics, including those within the family unit.

In the event that the educational establishment employs a psychological counselor, the questioner may also consult with the teacher.

It is imperative to accept oneself.

If parents frequently regulate the subject's spending and are unable to provide the subject with sources of happiness, the subject is capable of caring for themselves, loving themselves, and accepting themselves. It is beneficial for the subject to engage in activities that they find enjoyable and to allow themselves to experience the positive effects of self-care in these activities. It is important to recognize that the subject is deserving of love and care.

It is important to accept one's own state of mind and to engage in self-care when experiencing a low mood. Engaging in activities that bring about feelings of pleasure and satisfaction can be beneficial in promoting positive affect. Consuming sweet foods, for instance, has been linked to feelings of happiness and contentment.

It is of the utmost importance to pursue one's own happiness without inflicting harm upon others. It is imperative to refrain from allowing negative emotions to take over one's life.

It is my hope that this response will prove useful to the individual who posed the question.

"Thrift and frugality, starting with us." It is clear that my parents' generation had a very challenging time, and it is likely that they will save. As their children,

It is important to understand their situation and avoid negative emotions. They have been living this way for a long time, and it is challenging for them to change suddenly. As long as it does not affect their health, it is acceptable. The question asker has also grown up and should not require their parents' financial support. They must have their own plans in mind, and they should also consider your future. This is the great kindness of your parents, and you should learn to understand and share.

This is the virtue that our Chinese nation has inherited, and we should pass it on, but not excessively. This has become our standard practice, and it is unavoidable. The questioner is experiencing significant distress, and it is essential to encourage a positive outlook. Our standard of living has greatly improved, and we are not lacking in any essentials. We should avoid causing our parents any inconvenience and refrain from self-pity. This is a common occurrence. Compared to this kind of spending concept, if they do not move forward, we can facilitate their progress in a gradual manner.

We are currently living in a period of considerable privilege, and society also requires significant financial investment. However, some parents provide excessive support to their children, with inadequate financial guidance. This can negatively impact a child's social development, hindering their ability to integrate into society as adults.

It is a challenging issue to determine the best course of action for guiding a child who is experiencing frustration, discomfort, and a lack of ability to extricate themselves from their current situation.

If you have a narrow mindset and earn a substantial income, you will still have the same amount of challenging work. If you adopt a more expansive perspective, you will have a different world view and your imagination will change. Our world will become more profound. Colleagues, please consider this situation and don't dwell on these issues. Parents have their own way of life, and we should just continue moving forward.

You may purchase clothing for them to wear at your discretion. If they express satisfaction with the attire, they may wear it. Otherwise, you may disregard it. Do not impose unnecessary challenges on yourself. If you are unable to tolerate your parents, please transfer custody to me. I am currently lacking a parent to oversee my financial matters.

With time, they will open their eyes and see the beauty of the world around them. Their views will gradually change, and this will happen in due course.

Our parents are extremely frugal and have provided us with invaluable assistance without any expectation of compensation. We can only hope for their continued good health and longevity.
