There was a young man named Hossam. As soon as he started working and earning money, he began spending recklessly here and there—one day buying a new phone, another day going out, and hanging out almost every day. His father advised him, saying: “My son, stretch your legs according to your blanket… otherwise, you’ll go broke and run out of money.” But Hossam replied: “It’s fine, my salary comes every month!” Over time, he started borrowing money from his friends, and his salary was no longer enough even for half the month. One day, he found himself in a tight spot and couldn’t even pay the rent. He went back to his father and said: “Dad, I got myself into trouble…” His father calmly replied: “It’s not wrong to make a mistake… the mistake is to keep going down the same path.” From that day on, Hossam began to count every penny and would say: “Comfort isn’t about having a lot of money… comfort is living within your means.” The proverb “Stretch your legs according to your blanket” means: Live according to your financial ability, and don’t spend or live beyond your means so you don’t get into trouble.
