Overspending in Festive Season

Hello and Namaste Everyone

It's Diwali festival time in India and this is the time when people try many things. There are so many festivals that we celebrate together but Deepavali is one of the biggest out of all. I remember the time when in my childhood my father used to do a lot of work to keep the house clean and get it decorated for the Diwali festival. He used to buy new clothes for us and I was always excited about Diwali. I along with my siblings used to celebrate Diwali with new clothes lot of sweets at home and firecrackers. I still remember those days and it was a great time in my life that I still miss.

Now since I'm a mother I try my best to give the same culture to my children. I cleaned the House decorated with stuff for my children and spent some time with them. I also join my kid for firecrackers and I don't do it much but just for fun so that when he grows up, he also has some nice memories. I know that the crackers are not good for the environment but just for the celebration we do it but yes we are considered while the celebration in the festival.

While the celebration is always planned to make it grand this also comes with some overspending that many of us do during the festival season. There is a lot of shopping that I have been doing for the last few weeks for clothes and many decorative items and maybe later when I get time we will try to share some. The last few weeks have been so busy for me finalizing those things. I also wanted to visit my parents this year but seems it is not possible because of the schedule and schools are open for my kid.

Talking about the shopping and things that I do to spend some money. Amazon and Flipkart are the two players where I do most of the shopping now because going to the market is a time-consuming task for me. I also visit the market but before buying in the local market I do the comparison of prices between offline and online. I know that the amount I have spent for the Diwali celebration is the amount that I usually spend in three to four months. It is like overspending and I know that I did it but it's okay because now after this I will control my expenses to have an adjustment.

The next celebration will be happening in the New Year and there will be approximately 1.5 months in between. We need to spend some time with our family and friends and Diwali is the time when some of my friends also visit my place so it's going to be a great time. The Diwali Festival will be celebrated this Sunday and it's just one day away so I am excited about the celebration and I hope it will be a great time that I am going to have with my family and friends. I also think that the more fun is to prepare for the celebration because the celebration happens once and it is gone so altogether it is more fun to prepare for the festival day.

Thank you so much
Stay Safe and Enjoy Festive Season
