But there was a lesson hidden inside all this excitement. Saving money is wise, and being frugal can be a good thing. It means you value what you earn and don’t waste it. My grandpa lived by that rule his whole life.
Yet sometimes, even the most careful savers should spend a little on the people they love—not because the price matters, but because the gesture does. A thoughtful gift, a small treat, even a simple surprise can show someone how much they mean to you. My grandpa’s unexpected gift taught me that love isn’t measured in money… but sometimes, it sure knows how to surprise you.
