THE PLACE OF PRUDENCY IN MONEY MANAGEMENT

Bisi Adewale

prudency in money

To be prudent means to be careful, wise and sensible by trying to avoid unnecessary risks. To be prudent in the way you handle money means you handle money sensibly, wisely and carefully. You don’t spend anyhow or take unnecessary risks. You spend with caution and handle your finances with deep understanding.

’The simple believeth every word but the prudent man looketh well to his going”. Proverbs 14:15

When couples are not prudent, they are into trouble and a very deep ditch of debt, poverty and penury.
