Extravagance is such a waste
When too much excess is embraced.
Often it becomes a weight
And then creates a too-full plate.
Maintenance may have high cost,
And time for urgent things is lost.
Folks are often more content
When money is more wisely spent.
"Wealth" is best when shared with others...
Charity or needy brothers.
Worldly goods have little worth,
But when shared, to love give birth.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
