SPEND WISELY

Spending wisely entails adequate calculations. It's that time of the year when lots of activities that requires money are glaring at us. Unfortunately, some people are usually carried away with the happenings and end up spending on both relevant and irrelevant things. I have seen a man who traveled to his hometown during Christmas and started showcasing himself to the community, claiming to have made it by spending so roughly on practically what comes on his way. He would buy drinks and garnished bush meat for the young guys he sees in a restaurant and gives them the impression to eat and get satisfied, the bill on his head. He became the talk of the town... everyone in the community loved him because of such a kind act to the detriment of his children. All he did was only a show-off and I was sad to hear how his wife and children suffered to feed and pay bills at the beginning of the new year.

I am not against giving in any way because I give too but it becomes unwise when we spend to please people and later, live in regret. I use to wonder why some people do all manner of evil to get money when the Christmas season is approaching, but then I found out that most of them do that to show off especially those that plan to travel to their hometown. However, my point is that, even with your legit money 🤑💰, be wise while spending this season. Gift people if that is in your plan, and help the needy if you can... but don't be carried away with other social activities and run into bankruptcy. Always be calculative to avoid beginning the new year with an empty pocket all in the name of enjoying the season. Of course, it's good to enjoy and have fun but moderation remains the key, especially in this world economy.

My gender is another set of human beings that spends lavishly this season forgetting their financial goals. Both relevant and irrelevant items will be shopped just to belong.

It's also that time most ladies give attention to their wants rather than their needs. Meeting our wants is also nice but in everything, be wise in spending 👌

For some parents like me who have stood by school fees by January and some who need to renew their house rents, applying wisdom while spending in this season will save the day come January. I am saying all these because most people don't realize how much they have spent while having fun with the season until they become almost empty. It has happened to some people I know in the past. It's pretty nice to have fun, relax with friends, go to beaches, cinemas, and parks 🏞️, and attend to all manner of occasions during the season but in all we do, we should always be calculative and not be carried away with anything at all.

I hope you pick one thing from my sermon tonight.

That will be all for now!

Merry Christmas in addy🎉
