Liam’s money
Few months ago I was pleasantly surprised when Liam brought home a stash of coins. I asked where he got it. He said he rented out his fan during their field demo activity.
Liam brought to school a portable battery operated fan. Field activity is humid and hot, when his classmates saw his fan they wanted to borrow but he rented it out. 10 Pesos for 10 minutes and inspite of the high price his classmates took the bait and paid him for it.
Real talk: Money is important, the narrative is to make it as not that important and other things like kindness, humility to be more valuable. I agree other things like kindness are important but they are not more important than money. I think what is the best route is to be rich and be kind, fair etc.
So Liam perhaps has this natural instinct to capitalism. He saw the opportunity to earn and made the most out of it. At home you can pay him to do the chores, like 5 pesos to bring his clothes up etc.. his mom pays him to pluck white hair. He also keeps an ATM toy with money in it. as per his last count it was about 3K already.
Again, money is very important and also it would be nice to still be a good human being while he is chasing money.
