Numb my family and my upbringing can be the best example for you to show you that it does not mean that if you are rich you do not have values and if you have values you are not rich. I am mashallah well off but i also have values and education.
As for what you are saying, even a toy is a luxury. Having the best mobile phone is a luxury, having a colour screen on a mobile phone is a luxury. The fact is sadgi ki life is no longer going to happen. Plus would not you want your children to dress nicely and go to good schools? Plus Numb the thing is peer pressure, if you buy cheap clothes for your kids and send your kids to cheap schools, first of all they will not be as good as those kids that go to better schools and you have saved the money what are you going to do with it? Why do you guys and fathers make money for? Not to provide for your family then what? You can save all your money and your family looks in shambles. I am not saying that wasting money is good but being a miser is not all that good either. You should have a balance and see what is needed because these days some luxuries have become needs and yes i know that money is Allah ki imanat and we have to spend wisely. I am not saying that i am all a perfect angel as well, i have made mistakes handling money but that is how we learn.
thats what i have been tryin to explain him since half and hour. thanks Aisha. maybe now numb will understand the real meaning of "luxuries".
