11 May 2023
During the joyous celebration of Eid al Fithr, there are children eagerly awaiting their Eid allowances (THR) from the adults. As a result, it’s not surprising to see adults’ pockets becoming emptier after Eid. Let’s take a look at some tips to ensure that the remainder of your savings brings you great benefits.
- Reset Your Daily Expenses:
After spending a considerable amount of money to bring happiness to your family and loved ones, it’s essential to assess your daily expenses. If your current budget is running at a deficit or near it, you should cut back on expenditures.
Clearly define your priorities, categorizing them as ‘very important,’ ‘important,’ or ‘less important.’ Don’t let your savings dwindle because your daily expenses exceed what is necessary.
- Save for Next Year’s Eid:
Did you feel the financial impact of this year’s Eid? Let’s not forget to allocate a specific budget for holiday expenses. These may include Eid allowance for children, parents, uncles, aunts, special Eid dishes, pastries, and gifts for respected individuals.
Don’t be afraid, Dear Initiators! Starting today, we can begin saving for the next Eid al-Fitr. By doing so, you’ll feel at ease with a substantial budget for the occasion. InshaAllah.
- Allocate Savings for Spreading the Benefits of Qurban:
The remaining savings after Eid will become a precious treasure. And when something is valuable, using it for good deeds becomes even more meaningful.
Consider using a portion of your savings to spread the benefits. You can share with those in need or contribute to early preparations for Qurban through the Human Initiative.
