I personally feel that until now, when the child's attitude depends on the attitude of the parents, although not all of them are like that, but in the end, parents are always a reflection of the child's behavior.
I realize this because I already have children and some of my bad traits are not much different from the attitudes that my children show including in economic matters.
It is necessary to realize that children will always imitate the behavior of their parents so that when we as parents who do have some bad traits including perhaps in this case wasteful then it is certain that children will also see the way what parents do.

I was quite wasteful and sometimes overzealous when making several online and offline purchases before and it has been imitated by my child's attitude so that indeed in this case I began to realize the mistakes I made because in the end the behavior we show to children will actually be imitated.

That is so true and it's shaming when your child don't act the way you want them to be because they're reflecting your attitude towards them.

And that's the reason why there are parents that does everything to make their children proud of them and to behave. But sometimes, they are doing it too much to the point that kids have been spoiled a lot.

When they're spoiled, they act mindlessly. Yes, they're still kids but they need to be taught and learn a lot.

So with this we should know that if we really want to have good offspring then we also have to behave better in front of our children in the end even though out there we are someone who is an asshole but still we should not show something bad in front of the child because again a child is a reflection of the attitude of his parents as well so it is important to show something positive if we really want our children to behave positively including in economic and lifestyle issue.
It is not wrong to give what our children need but that does not mean that we have to spoil our own children because we as parents must have a good teaching so that children are independent and mature to support their lives later.

this isn't just about buying a few extra things online. Setting a plan for being responsible with money is what it's all about. The business of today is complicated and doesn't forgive mistakes. We need to be the good examples of money management that our kids need as parents. Teaching them the value of money, how important it is to save, and the idea of delayed satisfaction is just as important as spending less

We aren't just raising kids; we're also creating the adults of the future, who will have to deal with crypto, stocks, and the economy being unstable. They need to not only learn good habits, but also have an attitude that values knowing about money. We need to make a change, and not just for our own good. Not only should you shop less, but you should also have real talks about money, savings, investments, and the world's real economy

As I said before, children's attitudes are dominated by their vision of the people around them and parents provide most of the attitudes that children imitate because children are always close to their parent.
Therefore if we really want our children to behave better then indeed the application of discipline is important and one of the best ways to apply it is how we behave. If in the end we show a negative attitude in behavior then do not expect our children to behave better because they will imitate what we do.As in business and in economic matter this is also important if in the end we want children to be able to appreciate money then indeed we as parents should be able to show how to treat money well if in the end we are wasteful then do not blame our children who can be more wasteful.
