“From Savings to Snafus: 69 Cost-Cutting Decisions That Went Horribly Wrong!”
But I sucked it up considering this was better than nothing.
Since Fatima moved to third grade this year, she actively started complaining that her Madam does not give proper attention towards her or other kids. She just tells them to complete their school assignments and gets busy with her house chores or even better … take a nap.
I could see it was not working anymore. So about four months ago, I visited a few schools nearby and asked around to find a female teacher who could come to my home and assist my daughter with her school assignments. I talked with dozens of them in the span of a week and fortunately found one.
Though her fee is like 5 times of what I used to pay before, I am convinced. She is well educated and adequate for the job.
She comes to my home and teaches my daughter for two hours daily. We don’t have to take our daughter to tuition center and back. Fatima can have all the attention in the world she thinks she needs. And best of all, I see improvement in her grades.
She is happy, I don’t hear complaints now.
I am one contented father.
When you start doing anything that aligns with something you’d see on /r/Frugal_Jerk. For instance, lentil bread may be cheap, but seriously? Lentil bread?
Yeah, I’m not much of a Bible-beater or anything, but this parable (Luke 12:16-20) hits a little too close to home.
> A rich man had some land that produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, “What should I do? I don’t have space to store all my crops.” Then he said, “Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll replace my barns with larger ones, and then I’ll store all my grain. And then I can finally say to myself, ‘you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry!'” But God said to him, “You fool. This very night your life will be taken from you.”.
