In this time of recession life is difficult because of many debts that we're having and as results we have to cut the cost
meaning that one has to stop spending "irresponsibly".When I grew up neighbours used to look after one another,if you had no sugar you ask your nieghbour,no maize meal you get it,it's cold outside you don't have money coals are provided by neighbours that was then.Nowadays its very difficult because that culture is gone and then came the culture of credit cards where you buy everything on credit and that includes clothes and food,some people has as many as five credit cards just to maintain the standards,the question now is are you prepared to lower your standard
by reducing your credit cards,remember it simply mean you are going to leave below you means as experts advise us to,you have to stop going out eg(movies,restaurants,festivals,stadium,holidays list is endless),basically you life comes to a standstill and you become grounded.Not all credit is bad depending on how you use it and on top of that few people will be driving cars and owning houses,so people shouldn't live below their means but find way to make more money and eventually you're going to have a surplus and make sure that make a lot of it,life is precious we must enjoy it to the fullest,I might have left something out please don't hesitate to comment
Yours

I think people are trying to live the illusive "American Dream" type of life, where people purchase things just to make a statement. To be frank on the issue raised: BLACKS ARE POOR AND YET EXTRAVAGANT!
ReplyDeleteWe want to stay in gigantic palatial houses, furnish our house with exquisite Italian furniture, enrol our kids in expensive schools, drive luxurious cars, eat out now and then, and wear designer clothes. Lest we forget that there has to be a BALANCE - we can not have them all. For example, a white person will buy clothes at Ackermans or Legit, and drive Austine Martin, OR stay in a R2 million rand house, with a very lousy furniture. That's creating a balnce.
A person will want to buy a designer suit or shoes just for the funeral, where unfortunately no one even notice his/her newly bought expensive item. We are Brand Crazy. The sooner we master the art of not living for the masses, the better it will be for us to free ourselves in this life of misery and drowning in cesspool of debt.
