Lets face it money matters, whether we like it or not, specially in Ramadan.
This is the month we suppose to be denouncing worldly possessions and all. Ascetism my food, money does matter.For me ,it is turning to be the most worldly and most expensive month of all year. So far, I have spent more than ussual on food (fasting month) and we barely started, we have a long way to go and the eid expenditure is waiting, you know, the new Abaya, Jelaba, Maxi dress or toiler made long dress which ever you go for will be as expensive as ever.
This is not limited to me, it is the same throughout the whole Muslim world. I am not sure if it is the exquisite Samosas and dates that we seem to be eating this month, but Ramadan is turning in to feast and extravaganza bonanza to all of us. We are trying to pray more and donate more and be nicer and be hollier than ussual and we are to some extent but we are turned to be more materialistic than ussual. this is having a bad effect on our bank accounts,. I am sure that my bank manager (not sure if I have one) is as i wrote this having a mini financial crises and it is the same to all bank managers that deal with muslim account holders.
I did not even notice what was happening untill my bank send me an e-mail offering me a financial support as i seem to be mismanaging my account ( obviously they used a different word rather than mismanage, but it had the same meaning) and they,the bank, could help me manage my money easily, not that i have a lot to manage but it seems that every litle helps in the bankers world.
after this litle rant, wish one had some tips to part with but one has none. so, if you have any tips of :
HOW NOT TO GO BROKE IN RAMADAN. please let me know.
