I was raised in family where mothers are expected to be frugal. I happen to believe that this is one commendable characteristic that should be valued. We should always be wise in managing the resources that are given us. To live within the means, is a saying that is as old as time but many are having a hard time measuring up with.

And all these are apart from the birthday celebration that we celebrate across the calendar year as a family. Gift giving has been a part of our culture. It’s here to stay.
