I am not quite sure what this means or maybe I should say that I am not sure of all the interpretations however I think it speaks to sentiment that was expressed by the cleaning lady who works in my office. She is from a very poor community where they rarely can find even food to eat much less luxuries. Her view is that when she get some money she prefers to feast one day because rarely does she have it to eat like that on a frequent basis. This is basically what my grandma calls 'feast one day and famine the other'.
I don’t know but my belief is that you should carefully budget your money so that you have food for as long a period as is possible.

Thanks for allowing me to feel free to comment or respond, otherwise, I would have been felt very stiff!
Jokes apart:
My belief is same as that lady. We can afford one luxuriou day. I mean she work for a long hours daily and gets money for her hard work. So, she deserves one royal day in life. Who knows tommorow you will be there or not to live the simple life.
So, live life king size, even if it is for one day in your life!

Well, this is the story of my life. Indeed that you can't afford to spend all your money one day but you can save some to have one royal day.
but for me, I have spent all my money thinking that I will get some more money next month but to make the matter worse, I lost my job!

i certainly agree w/you. alot of people are like that . if they have abit of money they are going to spend. i have heard this saying all my life when somone has money that it is burning a hole in their pockert.i think for some that is true.

I think we all have to budget our money also and try not to spend it on things we do not have to have. We have to have food and should spend accordingly on that and bills.

I have considered this and I think I am one to make the money stretch as far as possible because if I am careful I can make the cash improve a few days of my life instead of just one or saving the money for an item I really want instead of extra food which will be gone once it's consumed! Yes I would either improve my food for a period of time or purchase something I want and that I can keep forever.

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji,
I am of your Grandma's opinion.We should always look down and not up-sp-high, keep coparing with others, who might be at better all time -feast. Letr's spread our legs within our bed-sheet, so that they do not protrude otside and become naked. ake and limit our budgets within resources. May god bless you and have a great time.
