The wisdom you get from being financially distressed are as follows:
- You learn to budget (and plan financial solutions)
- You learn to switch off unnecessary lights and unplug electric equipment
- You learn to schedule the use of your PC and AC
- You learn self-control (no impulse-buying)
- You learn to save on everything (no eating out, watch old movies on tv instead of renting dvds)
- You learn the road short-cuts to save on gas (hey, you’re even improving your navigational skills!)
- You learn to read newspapers and ads (what’s on sale, clearances, promos, roll-backs, discount coupons)
- You learn to discover and be creative (i.e. recycling)
- You learn to be patient (a virtue indeed!)
- You learn to pray (hopefully)
