ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

ROC consumer voucher

Imagine you are given a special piece of paper that has some money on it. This money can be used to buy things you want from certain stores. These stores have agreed to accept this paper money as if it was regular money, just like coins and bills.

The paper you were given is called a ROC Consumer Voucher. It's a special kind of voucher that is given by the government of a place called Taiwan. The government wants to help people like you and your family to have more money to spend, especially during hard times like a pandemic or when the economy is not doing so well.

The ROC Consumer Voucher is worth a certain amount of money, let's say 1,000 Taiwanese dollars. That's a lot of money for a 5-year-old, right? Don't worry, you don't have to spend it all at once. You can save some of it for later and use it when you really need it.

Now, let's say you want to buy a toy that costs 500 Taiwanese dollars. You can go to the store that accepts the ROC Consumer Voucher and give them your voucher paper. They will check that it's a real voucher and that you have not already used it before. Once they confirm that everything is ok, they will give you your toy and keep the voucher paper as payment.

If you spent only 500 Taiwanese dollars, you still have 500 left on your voucher. You can use it to buy something else, maybe a new book, a delicious meal or even save it for when you go on holiday.

Overall, the ROC Consumer Voucher is a way for the government to help people like you and your family to have more money to spend, especially during times when money is tight. So, make sure to use it wisely and have fun buying things you love!
