Special repayment, saving or consumption?

I’m sending you my daughter, she’ll tell you what needs to be done :D. Although she’s only 3, she has very clear ideas about what needs to be done. Pink (not rose) with glitter and a thin glittery velvet edge. Exactly the €40 item she saw at Decathlon. And since she still wears size 98, it’s a special order. We agreed to split the cost 50:50. She’s now saving hard for it and is draining every cent off grandma that’s lying around. I pray she forgets that ugly thing. In 2 years, she should theoretically have enough :rolleyes:
Shoes well, those were still affordable at €20 (club’s requirement) and will last my minion a long time.
And there goes my prepayment...

Exactly that €40 item she saw at Decathlon.

When the child is finally here and in the morning just screams while getting dressed and arches like a cat in the door frame, unless they’re allowed to wear pink clothes with glitter and Minnie Mouse. Then you, as parents, buy pink clothes with glitter and Minnie Mouse.

Then it's off to the daycare in pajamas.

But not big jumps in salary or wages like in the private sector, but rather security in times of crisis.
