গল্পঃ Some mothers teach their children how to save with a clay bank or by holding onto their Eid money or maybe with a monthly allowance. My mother, being a true economist and teacher, decided on taking an easier path by teaching me the concept of opportunity cost. It is the value of the alternative forgone. Since I began to walk, I would be given choices. If I wanted a doll, she would take me to the store, and show me two more, to consider every type before deciding. I didn’t understand what she tried to teach me, but it’s given me a strategic advantage when saving. I recall eavesdropping on my mother’s online classes during lockdown, where she would teach older students about saving and the various ways of banking. Now that I’m older, I understand Economics better and she goes on lectures with me on ways of banking. I fear I’ve developed a over saving attitude. I mean come on. What is a teenage girl supposed to spend on? So I save on and on and legend says I’ll be saving for eternity.
