There were two things I thought <br />recurring expenditure <br />and recurring income. <br /> <br />First one was surely the devil <br />and second was the savior and so <br />I planned to keep the devil at bay. <br /> <br />But it was never very easy doing <br />all the right things in your life <br />and so the earth was not yet a heaven. <br /> <br />Specially for me it was almost <br />an impossible task to agree that it was possible <br />to cut short my expenditures. <br /> <br />It was a question of changing altogether <br />my habits and my life style. <br />It was question of sacrificing some of my dreams. <br /> <br />And the hardest part of it what I thought was <br />to convince my family that season had now changed <br />and so, we required to adjust with the climate. <br /> <br />To my great astonishment for the first time I saw <br />my wife was much informed in this matter <br />and she was waiting for me to understand. <br /> <br />So my battle against recession was now half won. <br />We made 'save today to spend tomorrow' our mantra. <br />We decided to keep all our buying decisions pending. <br /> <br />She found happiness in gardening as I found it in poetry. <br />Our children found saving coins in piggy banks <br />was also very amusing instead of buying chocolates. <br /> <br />You must have also heard, tomorrow never comes. <br />So our children found happiness in thoughts <br />what our mantra 'Save today to spend tomorrow' will yield. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Palas Kumar Ray.All rights reserved.<br /><br />Palas Kumar Ray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/save-today-to-spend-tomorrow/
