"Take good care of your finances. A good yogi knows how to save well and spend well. Before making a purchase, think if it is something that will uplift and benefit your life.  There is nothing wrong with modern conveniences - and playing is vital to our growth and well-being. But spending beyond our means and accruing debt that suffocates us is not Yoga. Also, get in the habit of putting aside something every paycheck in savings. Even if it's just a little, make it a priority. Think of your savings as a child that must be fed."
