ترهق مناسبات الأفراح واللقاءات الاجتماعية، خصوصاً في الصيف والأعياد، ميزانيات بعض الأُسر التي تتسوق بطريقة مبالغ فيها دون ترشيد.. ذلك الوضع الذي يساهم في ارتفاع الأسعار؛ يسبب جشعاً لدى البائعين لتعويض ركود مبيعات بقية العام.. وحين نتحدث عن تلك العادات أو لنقل: السلوكيات الشرائية الخاطئة من البعض؛ فإننا نرشد الناس بعد أن قارب هذا الوضع ليصبح ظاهرة فلا نستطيع علاجها.
البعض من العرسان يبتاع من الأثاث المنزلي ما يفوق قدرته المالية.. وبعض نسوة يفتخرن بتغيير آثات بيوتهن سنوياً.. وأخريات تضيق خزائن ملابسهن بين الحين والآخر بأزياء ومقتنيات جديدة اشترينها تفاخراً ومباهاة وتقليداً.. وبعضهن يرتدين ثوباً جديداً في كل مناسبة بحجة المقولة: «ثوبي شافوه ما عاد ألبسه»..
ما أقوله قد يثير مؤاخذة وتحفظاً نسائياً، لكنها حقيقة ماثلة أمام الجميع أردت التذكير بها من باب أمانة الكلمة.. لذلك؛ أنصح بالقول لنفسي وأخواتي: يجب علينا الارتقاء بأنفسنا بنبذ الإسراف والتبذير.. علينا الاهتمام بأساسياتنا الحياتية في نفقاتنا.. علينا أن نكون قدوة لأبنائنا وبناتنا بترسيخ مفهوم ثقافة الوعي والترشيد.. علينا أن نتذكر أن بيننا من الضعفاء والمحتاجين من يعانون الفاقة وضيق ذات اليد.
وفي المقابل؛ لا بد من البحث عن الفقراء والمحتاجين وعمن لا يسأل الناس إلحافاً وإعطاءهم بعضاً من رزق الله.. أن نراعيهم باجتناب التباهي بالأزياء الفارهة والمقتنيات الفاخرة والمأكولات التي تهيج النفوس، خصوصاً في مواقع التواصل كي لا نكسر قلوب من يراها.
إن التبذير والإسراف غير أنه إضاعة للمال، فهو سلوك مذموم لا يأتي بخير.. سلوك جفف الجيوب وأقسى القلوب.. سلوك أدخل البعض في متاهات الديون والإفلاس والبؤس وشظف العيش.. لذلك فإن الخير يبقى في الوسطية والاعتدال وعدم مجاوزة الحد.
ما تقدم خواطر امرأة كتبتها بدافع الود والتذكير والتواصي بالخير خدمة للدين والوطن والمجتمع، فإن أصابت فمن توفيق الله لها، وإن أخطأت فالعفو عند الكرام مأمول.

Social occasions and gatherings, especially in the summer and during holidays, burden the budgets of some families who shop excessively without moderation. This situation contributes to rising prices and causes greed among sellers to compensate for stagnant sales throughout the rest of the year. When we talk about these habits, or let’s say: the wrong purchasing behaviors of some, we guide people after this situation has approached becoming a phenomenon that we cannot remedy.
Some grooms buy home furniture that exceeds their financial capacity. Some women take pride in changing the furnishings of their homes annually. Others find their wardrobes cramped from time to time with new outfits and possessions they bought out of pride and show-off, following trends. Some wear a new dress for every occasion under the pretext of the saying: “I can’t wear the dress again after it has been seen.”
What I’m saying may provoke criticism and reservations from women, but it is a reality evident to everyone that I wanted to remind them of out of a sense of responsibility. Therefore, I advise myself and my sisters: we must elevate ourselves by rejecting extravagance and wastefulness. We need to focus on our essential life expenses. We should be role models for our sons and daughters by instilling the concept of awareness and moderation. We must remember that among us are the weak and needy who suffer from poverty and hardship.
On the other hand, we must seek out the poor and needy, those who do not ask people insistently, and give them some of God’s provisions. We should be mindful of them by avoiding flaunting luxurious clothing, extravagant possessions, and tempting foods, especially on social media, so as not to break the hearts of those who see it.
Indeed, wastefulness and extravagance, aside from being a waste of money, is a reprehensible behavior that brings no good. It is a behavior that empties pockets and hardens hearts. It has led some into the labyrinth of debts, bankruptcy, misery, and hardship. Therefore, goodness remains in moderation and balance, and not exceeding limits.
The above are reflections of a woman written out of affection, reminder, and advising towards good, serving the religion, homeland, and society. If it is correct, it is by God’s grace; and if I am mistaken, forgiveness is hoped for from the noble.
