Hey ,

Because it’s December, a lot of people automatically feel like:

“I’ve worked hard this year, I deserve to ball.”

And honestly, you’re not wrong.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

But enjoyment without wisdom becomes regret.

Nobody told you that you must wear new clothes for Christmas.

Nobody told you that you must buy something special for New Year.

Nobody told you that you must enter Uber to every hangout.

Nobody told you that you must spend money to “feel” the season.

We pressure ourselves for no real reason.

You don’t have to look like what your bank account cannot defend.

If your financial bracket cannot carry Uber rides everywhere, don’t force it.

Share a ride.

Use public transport.

Or don’t go.

It’s that simple.

If you can’t afford to eat out every weekend, stay home.

Cook.

Rest.

Sleep.

That is not poverty.

That is wisdom.

Stop trying to spend money you don’t have to impress people who don’t even care.

Half of the people you’re trying to impress won’t show up for you in real life.

If all you can afford is small enjoyment, enjoy small with full chest.

There is no shame in living within your means.

This is part of emotional intelligence.

Just because you feel like doing something doesn’t mean you should do it.

You might feel like buying new clothes.

You might feel like going out.

You might feel like ordering food.

Feelings don’t pay bills.

Wisdom protects your future.

If you don’t have the resources, don’t do it.

Not “manage it.”

Not “borrow.”

Not “run am.”

Just don’t do it.

Enjoy December.

But don’t destroy January.

Your Fave,

Darasimi
