Is it really wise to celebrate your birthday in grand style with the state of the economy nowadays? I know someone who threw a grand birthday party celebration a few weeks ago. She really spent so much money in that party. I think she spent almost half the amount in her savings account. She was advised by those close to her to be more prudent, to think before pushing through with her plans. But she was adamantly refusing to heed everyone’s advice.

I saw her two or three days ago. She was in deep thought, not even bothering to look where she’s going to. I approached her and asked what’s wrong. She told me that she’s now in need of a certain amount of money for an emergency. She’s regretting the party she spent money on.

Regrets come in the end. Be wise in making decisions, especially when it involves money.
