Don't count your eggs before they are hatched

I realized why I was spending recklessly.

I was spending like I have that kind of paycheck before it come.
I did not manage my expectations right.

"Decide the lifestyle you want to lead and fight for the paycheck to sustain it" is a dangerous way of living.

You may be biting off more than you can chew.

To think of it, I may not even be ready for that kind of stress and effort required.
