A family’s expenses include food, medical care, education, and household needs. Moderation means meeting genuine needs sensibly while not increasing costs merely for display or through impulsive decisions.
Example 1: If a school bag is still sound, replacing it solely for fashion may be unnecessary.
Example 2: If it is torn and damages books, buying a suitably durable replacement meets a real need.
Example 3: Spending far beyond one’s means at a celebration can later affect the rights and needs of others.
Moderation requires attention to circumstances. It is neither refusal to spend on necessities nor automatic fulfilment of every desire.
