THRIFTINESS

Allowing myself and others to spend
ONLY what is necessary

vs. Extravagance

I WILL:

• Save more and spend less,

• Make good use of what I already have,

• Look for the best value,

• Budget my money, time, and energy,

• Not confuse what I need with what I want.

Thriftiness is necessary for the koala to survive.  His diet of eucalyptus leaves provides little nutrition, so the koala must spend his energy wisely.  He moves slowly between branches of trees in order to avoid exhaustion and save as much strength as possible.
