My sister Jodie, who is the youngest in the family, is celebrating her 18th birthday today. While it has become some sort of tradition to celebrate this big event in a grand way, my family cannot afford it. It’s a good thing my sister understands. I, myself, have not experienced a grand celebration when it was my turn to be a debutant. I’m not complaining, though, because I know where we stand. And since I have work at the restaurant tonight, we decided to celebrate in our own unique way tomorrow. Yes, it’s gonna be a family event.
To compensate for the absence of a party, because we have already decided to just eat out, we want to give her a gift. We’re still brainstorming on the best gift to give her, and right now all I could think is to buy life insurance for her. A life plan sounds like the perfect birthday gift to me. We all know how important it is to feel secured today. Saving for the rainy days is one of the best lessons taught to us by our parents. The earlier she starts investing in her future, the better.
Do you know of other nice gifts to give a debutant?
