标题:Investing for babies involves knotty trade-offs

Should new parents favour financial capital, human capital or something else?

正文:Patience, consistency and frugality are fine habits for an investor.They are not, however, common virtues among newborn babies. The little bundles of joy are impulsive short-term thinkers. They are also some of nature’s biggest freeloaders, living entirely beyond their means.

知识点:【frugality】 /fruːˈɡæləti/ n.(形容词 frugal /ˈfruːɡl/) 
英文释义:frugality means the habit of being careful with money and avoiding waste 
本义为"节俭、俭省",个人理财语境核心义为"主动控制开支、不浪费的生活习惯"(本文特指:作者列出的投资者三大美德之一,与婴儿的挥霍形成反差)核心搭配:live a frugal life、a frugal meal、frugal habits、practise frugality、frugal by nature
・The founder's frugality became company legend: he flew economy until the IPO. 这位创始人的节俭成了公司传奇——上市之前他一直坐经济舱。
・Years of frugality allowed the couple to retire a decade early. 多年省吃俭用,让这对夫妻提前十年退休。
