গল্পঃ Growing up, I never thought much about money, it was always… there. School bags with matching pencil cases, birthday cakes beautifully made, carefully planned holidays—they were just there, like everyday blessings. Behind it all was my mother; quiet, steady, always five steps ahead. When I was nine, I wanted a beautiful purse with blue patterns. She said it was “unnecessary,” but didn’t say no. Instead, she gave me four pastel envelopes: “Spend,” “Save,” “Give,” and “Dream”. A reminder. Watching my “Dream” envelope grow was like watering a small plant—waiting became peaceful. One afternoon at Shahabuddin Park, she told me saving wasn’t born from fear, but freedom—the freedom to breathe easy. This year, I used my savings to buy her a lotus charm bracelet, and when she hugged me, warmth blossomed. Saving taught me more than money; it taught me love, care, and patience. My mother is my first bank, showing me that true wealth is in the heart. And that wealth? It’s value sticks forever.
