Where Do We Go From Here?

With FLORA OKOYE

It is pretty expensive to keep and maintain a home these days, and many out there will agree with me that‘their feeding allowance hardly takes them round. So, to avoid malnutrition which is the product of under feeding, all hands must be on deck in order to make extra inputs to the well being of the home.


For example, wives who are supposed to be managers in their various homes should be up and doing in their duties to make sure that their home members are adequately taken care of.


They should be mindful with their spending. Anything that is not urgently needed in the home should not just be their concern at all instead, the money meant for the home keeping should be adequately used for just that. And not diverting same to buying of beauty accessories, and what have you.


As managers of homes, women should always know exactly what and what are lacking in their homes, and quickly make efforts to replace them. This will help to curtail your idea of borrowing, or asking for one thing, or the other from people always.


There is nothing as disgracing as always asking, or borrowing things, especially food items from neighbours, more especially from unbelievers. Here, you as a believer can not make, or strike a difference. In fact, your reputation is at stake if you are a habitual borrower. You will then look like a traitor to those people, because anytime they see you, it is like you have come to ask, or borrow something from them. Many of them will dread seeing you. While others will prefer cutting you off entirely.


Therefore, as the economy bits tighter, people, especially women should try and discover new grounds as to make their homes comfortable, and satisfied all the time. When a particular food item or home equipment becomes too expensive, there must be some other similar ones that will be cheaper so, you can switch over to them, so as to make ends make.


For example now that crayfish is very expensive, there should be another substitute for crayfish. There are also other substitutes for you and I to switch over to, there is no point being rigid about one particular thing.


We all should look out for ways of discovering new pep into our menu, and I bet you, that will really help us to improve on what we eat at all times for our health is our wealth. Try always to minimize cost on anything you want to buy.
