Think twice first
Before you buy something;
Do you really need it?
Or would you only like it having?
Never must one be envious,
Competing against another;
Budget hard-earned income,
To grow, thrive and prosper.
Never become shopaholic,
Be a wise spender instead;
Having no ways and means,
Control what's in your head.
There is no easy money,
Never become luxurious;
Gold rings and bracelets
Pile up loans so serious.
Learn to be content,
Long not for too much riches;
Look for enough assets
To have no liabilities.
Make the right decisions,
Instead of the wrong turn;
Save cents for the future,
Live less than you earn.
Is it a need or want? This is indeed a reality. A big help for those who are not spending wisely. (I mean it, sometimes... 😊) Thank you so much for the motivation, Bernard... An awesome piece! 😊 Perfect 10 for you...
Thanks, CHE... It's against the will of God not to spend wisely.....
