[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m raising my daughter to value people over things, and intellectual life rather than “influencer” life. She understands that we can buy books, but when we borrow them from the Library we’re supporting institutions that support our values. If in 45 years she can’t afford books then she’ll know the support of those institutions. [/quote] If she can’t afford books she has much bigger problems. Teach her to cook from scratch, grow vegetables, or something remotely useful to prepare for hard times or living hand to mouth.[/quote] DP here. I love to read and buying books is a huge waste of money and just creates clutter. Libraries are awesome. We are high income and high net worth. Wealthy areas have amazing libraries. If my library doesn’t have a book I want, I literally tell them and they order it! [/quote]
