내가 크리스마스에 원하는 것 – 검소한 아이들     매주 금요일마다 찾아오는 Joy of Reading! 영어 읽기의 즐거움을 느껴 보세요. <All I Want for Christmas: Frugal Kids> That’s when a colleague gave me a brilliant suggestion to tell the kids that they can have four things: something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. I was afraid that they might hate the idea, but they both embraced it, in part because it turned list-making into a categorical challenge, a game almost, and it also preserved their freedom to choose. I in turn was pleased because the framework forced them to prioritize desires, forego some things for others, and yes, distinguish wants from needs. (And also accept the fact that clothing and books are legitimate presents.) It wasn’t a completely ant-like solution, but it wasn’t all grasshopper either. -http://time.com/money/   어휘 frugal 검소한 embrace 포용하다 in part 부분적으로는, 어느 정도는 categorical 범주의 preserve 보존하다 in turn 다음에는 prioritize 우선순위를 매기다 forego 선행하다, 앞서다 legitimate 정당한, 진정한
