Cut Your Cloth According To the Cloth

Everybody has needs, but there is hardly anyone who can satisfy all of them. The earlier we understand this truth, the better it is. What we can do is to fix priorities and limit our needs as per our resources. If you spend beyond your means you will end up in debt and unhappiness. This is a lesson to be learned particularly by a fixed income group. Since your normal income has limits, you have to shape your life style in such a way that your expenses never exceed your income. In fact, the former should be smaller than the latter, so that some reserve is built up to meet emergencies. If others say you are miserly it matters little. Your real dignity depends upon your freedom which is the capability to live within one’s means.
