There is an adage that says to cut your coat according to your size, this means don’t do things beyond your capacity.
Over the years I have always heard different stories of how people are always very broke in January, the obvious reason is how extravagant they were in December.
December period is a festive period for some and also the time some people decide to visit their hometown. This means there tends to be a lot of spending during this period.

In as much as festivals and visits are important, always ensure you prepare for January, individually we know our responsibilities and duties. Don’t go to the village and spend extravagantly this December and forget about the bills that await you in January.
As you are celebrating, remember to have the fear of sapa in January in mind, so you can spend wisely and accordingly.
Don’t bite more than you can chew and always remember that what Man will do God will not do it..
Merry Xmas And Happy New Year In Advance.
