frugality

REFLECTION: for the young professionals like me, one of the most common reasons why we are entangled with financial problems is that sometimes we are living/spending beyond our means.. a Chinese proverb says,"don't use a wallet if you have 5 pennies yet you're thinking on spending 6 pennies.." frugality is one of the virtues that is often pushed aside.. of course, we can't deny the fact that shopping spree or buying all the things that we want can sometimes be therapeutic(whether u want to unwind or just to forget something that's giving u stress).. but, therapeutic or not, we'll sure end up getting broke and that's even more unlikeable.. the remedy would be living a simple life and being contented with what we have.. "kapag maiksi ang kumot matutong mamaluktot.."
