For most people, it's hard to resist the temptation of gifts.
For example, when someone treats someone to dinner, we may want to go for a big meal. If someone gives us a gift, we may take it.
In particular, many elderly people are used to being thrifty all their lives, and they can't walk when they see two free eggs. It's even harder to say no to someone else's gift.
However, some gifts are well-intentioned, and some are not.
If you take advantage of it casually, you may end up paying several times or more than ten times the price. When the time comes, the wallet will suffer even more.
The elderly need to pay attention to the fact that even if they are soft-hearted and thrifty, they should not accept 3 kinds of gifts. Otherwise, you may regret it.
01 Illogical gifts
In reality, some gifts are logical, but some gifts don't make sense.
For example, if we do someone a favor and give them a small gift, it's normal.
But why are there people who have never received our favor and give us gifts in vain?
Let me ask you: Do we give gifts to others for no reason?
It's simply illogical.
For example, some elderly people hurried to see others giving free gifts, for fear that they would suffer a loss.
But in fact, we ourselves are not happy to give others a free gift of one dollar.
But the other party wants to give us a gift of ten or dozens of dollars for free. So how much does it cost for a hundred people to come down?
The logic in this is inappropriate at first glance.
In reality, when the elderly see a gift, they first ask themselves: will they give gifts to others?
You can understand this contradiction.
So as to avoid some risks.
02 An easy gift
In reality, if some merchants give a dollar paper towel or two eggs for business, it is understandable.
But if there is a big gift that comes easily, a gift of a lot of money, then you have to think about it.
Really, is there such a free big pie?
For example, some acquaintances deliberately found the old man and said that they wanted to invest.
It is said that it is a very easy thing to count money while lying down.
But frankly, is this kind of almost free money-picking thing so cheap for us?
It's easy to come by, and at the same time, a lot of gifts don't stand up to logical scrutiny.
I am afraid that after the old man accepts this gift, the price he has to pay will be even higher.
03 A gift from a person with a cold relationship
People who have a cold relationship will not give gifts themselves.
I can't usually think of it, and I still give gifts? It's incredible.
For example, a relative who has not been in contact with for five years suddenly comes to you to give you a gift. That must be asking you to do something.
People have long calculated what benefits he can get after giving gifts.
You can rest assured that the value of the last offer is definitely far greater than the value of his gift.
It's human nature.
With small gifts, pry big help, this is human nature.
All in all, some gifts may seem sweet, but they are actually bitter. Once the old man accepts it, he may have to pay a greater price in the future.
Some old people, who have been frugal all their lives, saw a little gift, and began to think about it, and then those who came did not refuse.
Unexpectedly, it is very bad to get into a favor debt, or some potential trouble.
We need to learn to turn a blind eye to gifts. Always remember: there is no such thing as a free lunch. Don't try to take advantage of it, but in the end you suffer a big loss.
