Money, money money. That’s what the young people want, and that is what they get. Not so smart, warn economists, who think parents have to think about what signals gift giving.
On confirmation the gift table this year there will be values for a five-digit number respectively. Parents contribute the largest proportion, 10 400 crowns on average, while grandparents and other family members turn to with 2.800 million each.
Compared with 2015 is the parents’ gift at about the same level, while family members plan to use heels 40 percent more than last year.
The survey was conducted by Ipsos MMI for DNB and the results coincide largely with money and tendencies found in a similar survey conducted by TNS Gallup for Nordea, rendered in Aftenposten.
OA working on a major case concerning confirmations and conducting our own survey here. In this connection we would like to have your help. Please reply to our questions here:
Nonsense
Ipsos MMI figures show that seven out of ten confirmations wants money for the big day. Money is clearly the main desired, then the electronics and costume, respectively 9 and 7 percent want.
Consumer Economist Nigel Sandmæl DNB tipping very many get what they want, money, something she is skeptical, since there are indications that the money neither is spared or spent on something lasting:
– Safe sprinkle that graduation is, could have been a good starter grants, and many say in retrospect that they regret that they did not spare more. It’s horrible sin to spill away so much money on shopping and nonsense, she said.
Property values
Confirmations day trades basically about the choices you make in life and what you believe in. Economists in several banks propose to think through the signals you send with the gifts given:
– If we want to give gifts that leave scars and are useful in length, are the bills the least clever we can provide. Money for housing savings account, a savings agreement in funds, jewelry, art, cufflinks or real clock, may not be the most popular confirmation gift, but will definitely give pleasure later. We should use life experience our, instead of doing exactly that a 15 year old will, say Sandmæl.
According to her choosing to none confirmations to save for housing.
– Just under half say they want to save some or all of the amount. But a 15 year old is exposed to many temptations, and will, like so many other “new rich” have trouble allocate money correctly. Parents should sit down with your teen and talk about what you want to do with money. (© NTB)
