Lel Smits and her husband have adopted a distinctive approach to Christmas by investing one day's salary for each of their children instead of purchasing traditional gifts. This innovative practice aims to instill a sense of financial literacy and responsibility in their children from a young age.
Every year, the family gathers to discuss the importance of saving and investing, making the experience both educational and interactive. Smits believes that this method not only teaches her children about money management but also fosters a deeper understanding of the value of hard work and financial planning.
The children have embraced this tradition wholeheartedly, finding joy in the learning process rather than feeling deprived of material gifts. By prioritizing education over consumerism, the Smits family is setting a powerful example of how to approach money in a thoughtful and constructive manner. This unique holiday practice is a testament to the family's commitment to raising financially savvy individuals.
